Surgery Date Moved



Recommended Posts

I went in today for my pre-op appointments. My surgery was scheduled for the 27th of this month, and they moved it to April 24th. Part of me is disappointed that it's not next week like I'd planned, but the other side of me is happy, because this makes it easier to get people that can help me post-op. Either way, I've got a new surgery date!

sorry for the frustrating delay

you are taking things very well, by seeing the good instead of the bad in this situation, now being able to give yourself more time for your pre-op. Way to go talk to you later

best wishes

Mine got pushed back and forth a couple of times as well. The day it actually happened turned out to be the perfect time for my surgery! Yours will be perfect as well! :)

Good luck and I'm sliding over on the loser's bench!! :)

Mine is scheduled for the 27th. I've had a few crap already?! moments, but I think I'd still be ticked off if they rescheduled. It's good that you're able to take it in stride and find the positive side of it, you know, since you don't have any choice and stuff. :)

Had you started any type of preop diet, that you will have to either maintain or restart? Picked up any Rxs ahead of time you need to make sure not to lose? If you had initiated anything with STD make sure you let them know of the changes.

^ just trying to brainstorm, just in case. :)

I was already well into my pre-op diet (and 12 lbs down!) and have been told to discontinue it until 2 weeks before the date.

However, I spoke too soon. My mother is the one that's coming to town to take care of me immediately post-op. Of course, it happened that she absolutely cannot take any days off the week of my surgery. So, looks like it may be moved again.

I almost wonder if these are signs that I shouldn't be having it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
