One year of preparing, jumping through loopholes my surgery date was set fire Jan 3rd. I had already started pre diet. Received a call yesterday telling me mine surgeon wasn't going to be available for the surgery. Therefore, they needed to postpone with no date set up for surgery. My mind was mentally in the game, ready and pumped. Now this. Any suggestions on how I can deal with this? I'm deflated and want to eat everything in site. HELP. How to deal?

Thank you ladies for your story and comments. My plan was to go ahead, stay on the pre Op Diet so when they say go I'm ready. Just want my head in the right spot and not sure how to get back there. Good thing is I'm stubborn enough I'll make it work. Thank you again. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

This might be tmi but I have to ask. I am using gas X strips to reduce the gas but I don't think it's working. I am still releasing gas loudly and is very embarrassing. I thought the gas x strips would reduce that. Am I wrong? How does gas X work? Please don't judge. Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

All this advice does help. It seems I'll be able to function mostly on my own, good to know. I'm pretty independent. My concern is going to the restroom and showering with the drain I'll have. Did any of you have a drain? Was that area painful or a pain to deal with? Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App

It does help, thank you. I have my surgery Jan 3, 17 so I'm trying my best to get everything I néed before hand because my brother will be my partial caregiver, then the other half I'm on my own. We're you able to take care of yourself or did you need help? I weigh a lot 500 so I can't walk well at all and not sure how easy it will be for me to get out of my recliner due to abdominal incisions. Recommendations, I'd love it since you are so new out.

If you don't mind what purpose does it do for you? I sleep in a recliner now cuz the bed is just so uncomfortable. Will this make sleeping in a bed more comfortable, in your opinion? Sent from my SM-N910T using the BariatricPal App
