For many reasons, too many and long to explain, I've learned that unexpected delays in something so important often have a reason beyond our understanding at the time. Trust that your surgery will happen at the right time for you. Sometimes, the delay is what we need to prepare for the change in life that will come. Consider this time a blessing and make it worth your while. Take this time to get in better physical shape, start an exercise program, start learning about different weight loss programs and find one to fit your lifestyle. Research about this new tool you are getting. I promise there is still much you do not know. Use this website as a great tool to do that research. Find in your area others who have, or are getting, the lap-band. If you keep busy with these kinds of tasks, you will find the two-month delay will go by very quickly.

Don't be upset, thank God you are getting banded. I wish I can get banded, pray for me. I'm not quite at 40, I'm at 39, and my insurance require a solid 40. I can't afford to pay on my own. Good luck and keep us posted.

Don't feel bad, I got re-scheduled at 7:30am this morning, and I was supposed to have it done on thursday (5/7/09) I'm pushed back to may 21st now all because of my PCP's office and he didn't word his letter right. AND, His office wouldn't let me reshedule my april 24th appointment (which I showed up for ON TIME but the office was closed- without a phone call) so now there is a gap in my 6 months worth of notes. I'm LIVID:cursing: right now. But like the person a few posts said, thank god we're still getting banded. It just sucks they pushed you back until july.

P.S- What a wonderful way to wake up eh? the phone ringing telling you it's not going to happen, after watching your entire family eat a good dinner while your sipping on chicken broth- starving!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
