After an agonizing 10 days on a pre op diet of nothing but liquids, my surgery has been postponed. Instead of May 6th, it's going to be June 3rd. My Cardiac Clearence didn't come though. I couldn't get in to see my cardiologist till May 13th.

I was so dissapointed! I'll have to do this pre op diet all over again. I'm going to start it on May 7th, in case they get a cancellation after May 13th.

Oh I am sorry to hear about your delay! Mine was delayed too for cardiac clearance (I had to do a nuclear stress test). In the end I kind of enjoyed having a few extra weeks to prepare... Don't worry it will pass and you will be reassured that your heart can handle the stress of surgery!

I, too am sorry for the delay. Something similar happened to me and it was a bummer. I think you are smart to restart your preop diet so you are ready if they get a cancellation.

Best wishes,

Mimi

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
