I've working diligently to get my appointments to have all of my testing done so that I could see the surgeon. I've had to do so many follow-ups to make sure everything is getting done and sent to the surgeon... I've even had to bug the surgeon's office staff to get paperwork to me. I finally was able to make my appointment about 3 weeks ago and received a call this afternoon at 2 p.m. letting me know that they had triple booked appointments and I could either keep my appointment to wegh in only and see the doctor later or reschedule the weigh in. Apparently the office staff weighs you and then if you've lost 5% of your weight they let you see the doctor right after. I had to reschedule because it's an hour and 20 minute drive each way for me to get to the doctor. I was promised that would get in next week.

Here I sit telling myself not to get upset and eat over it but I'm eating. I had to rearrange my work schedule and now DH can't go to next week's appointment with me. I tried explaining to the staff that DH is in the military and can't make it next week do to deployments. Grrrr.... I'm so frustrated right now. :smile2:

Grrrr, that was rude and unprofessional of them. If you make a commitment you keep it - they expect us to be there on time when scheduled, they need to do the same.

But don't eat! Take a walk and burn off some energy. Just mutter while walking: "Save a waistline. Bite a surgeon!":biggrin2:

Thank you everyone for being on my side and letting me vent. It's nice to know that others can relate to what I'm going through and being anxious to get this done and on my way.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
