well I did begin to have my gastric sleeve surgery on 11/05/2018. On the table .knocked out with anesthesia .Awaken by nurses telling me. They were not able to do the surgery. they informed me that they could not introduce the laroscopy where it needed to be to begin the surgery. The doctors said they tried for 45 minute. even called in ENT to try. Neck just wouldn't bend. (my neck is fused, due to spinal surgery due to polio} I was so extremely depressed. So I had to begin all over again. with a Doctor I was referred to. Dr. Katkhouda @ Keck USC. next week I complete my nutrition classes AGAIN. I'm scheduled again May 7th 2019. Please let it work this time.

Scheduled 11/05/2018 for the second time to get a gastric sleeve. woke up from surgery with the nurses telling me. They were unable to do surgery .unable to introduce Laparoscopy when it needed to be. had to abort it. Too dangerous for me. I was so Very Depressed. I'm doing better with the depression. I must believe My Doctor Aborted surgery to Protect me .But I wanted this surgery so bad. Well I'm suppose to see him on 11/16/18 to discuss alternative methods. Hopefully I can Reschedule it for the third time

How to change "surgery patient type"
covarrubia911 replied to 🅺🅸🅼🅼🅸🅴🅺's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
I would like to know also. when I joined BP I was considering a gastric bypass, but my doctor says sleeve would be better for a Diabetic. I cant figure out how to change my surgery type -
Finally scheduled for my Gastric sleeve
covarrubia911 posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
been through numerous diet/classes/pills. also had a Lap band. I was originally scheduled to have band removed & have gastric sleeve done at the same time. But when they removed the band. said too much scar tissue from the band wrapping around my liver. How did Band wrap around my liver? Who knows.. my doctor closed the surgery. said I must wait for 1 year before they attempt to do the sleeve. But after going through all that. I had to go to more classes/ 1 on 1 with doctor/ G/I Series/ Esophagus in order for my insurance for approval. Well I did it all. Finally my schedule date at Fountain Valley Hospital is 11/05/2018. I am so excited. -

Need Help looking for app that I can log my daily meals and print out monthly for my doctor. anyone have a name of such an app that I can download???

The best app for logging food and exercise that I have found has been My Fitness Pal. The list of foods is incredible and very easy to use.

I second MyFitnessPal. I've used it for a long time, even before my surgery. You can print off a report of your food log each day online if you want, and can also run reports on weight loss, calories, nutrition breakdown, etc. I use the mobile app so I have no issue keeping up on my food logging. And when I make up a big batch of something, I'll create it as a 'recipe' in the app, and when you tell it how many servings that bulk recipe makes, it'll tell you the calories/nutrition breakdown per serving. Makes it super easy!

Must go to 3 more classes I can do this. Very informative. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app -
This is my second time around.. Last year I was ready for surgery, Had the Lap band removed to have a sleeve put on. But apparently lap band was wrapped around Liver. Too much scar tissue there. so I didn't get the sleeve. Then I developed Breast Cancer. Had to go through all the radiation & Stuff. Now Oncology says I can proceed with my sleeve. YAAY ! I go again to the 4 Hour Gastric sleeve Class this Tuesday. Then I re meet with my Dr. Michael Russo Thursday for H & P.. So Excited.
