Oh Lawd.. Another Set Back...... :(



Recommended Posts

So at first I felt like I am approved but now my Doctor keeps sending me for test. I was a lot frustrated, until....... upon getting results from one test showed my heart is not functioning correctly. Cardiologist absolutely said no surgery til this issue is resolved. So people please be patient and follow through with all your appointments no matter how frustrating it could get. As long as your approved the surgery would get done..... biggrin.gif ....

chigga77 - i agree its better that he found the situation before the surgery, just to be safe.

I was cleared by my cardiologist, DOS 12/6/11 - but the nurse called me 3 days prior to WLS to POSTPONE!! I was so upset, but she said the dr. wanted to see me.

Dr. was actually in room when she called me, - and he got on the line to explain about the "possible" prob about my cardio and he just wanted to change hospitals to one that was more qualified if problem occurred. Just wanted to make sure all would go fine.

What i'm trying to say ( being longwinded sorry) it's better to make sure all is ok and be prepared for all, make sure the problem is resolved.

All is good now, DOS changed to 12/15/11 and i feel better that the dr. was concerned just like your dr. Its good to have a caring dr. to make sure you're ok.

Everything will be great, sorry about your wait (weight!!) it'll all work out for the better :o)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
