DUM!!!....

SO! Hopefully tomorrow will be my big day, I was originally scheduled a week ago and got booted cuz the hospital was in "Crisis Mode"

(I'm in AZ and lot's of snowbirds here sucking up our resources! haha.. j/k birdies)

AND My Dr's wife is about to have her baby anyday.. so I might get cancelled AGAIN!! I'm hoping that all the people that were sick taking up my bed last week are well.. AND that my Dr's wife had her baby already!!

So Wish me luck and say prayers for me PLEASE and Thank you! :cursing:

Hi Maya314, I just got banded on Tuesday, 2/19. Who's your doc? Mine is Dr Blackstone with the Scottsdale Bariatric Center. She's great.

Hi! Glad to hear all went well for you. I know what you mean about the snowbirds. Sorry Snowbird...I don't mean you. I hope you continue to do well. I just got my PCP to refer me to a surgeon. Now the fun begins after I meet with the surgeon. All the pre op stuff you know what I mean.

Hi, betrhnever, looked all over this forum till I found someone who was banded on the same day as me!!2/19 was my lucky day, too! 1st time ever on any forum/chat for anything..so bear with me! I got banded in Atlanta by Dr. Davis @ Emory. Been OK since tues, with a little gas pain-boy, did my 1st "food"taste awesome this morning!!-a few Tbls of thin grits & marg..Though I'd never hear myself say that..

Good luck & keep in touch..

MaYa314 You sounds as excited as I feel. I'm scheduled for surgery 02/29. Can't wait! You know.... I've read alot about people on Pre-Op diets but my doctor doesn't make his patients do a pre-op diet. Just Clear Liquids 1 day before surgery. I guess I got lucky. :blush::smile2:

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
