Super Bummed....surgery Cancelled



Recommended Posts

Wow...I really admire your resolve! I have seriously been a puddle of goo these past few days. It takes so much strength to remain positive at this massive disappointment. But' date=' we CAN do it, and we WILL do it! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

Well.......I will probably be a puddle of goo in a day or so. This all happened today. I went from 13lbs down in 12 days (on liquids) to......you possibly need a blood transfusion, cancel your surgery, and your seeing a hematologist tomorrow!!! If it weren't for this forum and my family I might just crawl into bed with a cheesecake and not resurface for the next year. I just have always been of the belief that everything happens for a reason and there must have been some obstacle or hurdle that would have been to great for me to overcome no matter how ready I was. So another force (I happen to call him God) intervened to ensure I have the best chance at success. That's the only way I will get through this huge disappointment. My sister has called me 5 or 6 times already asking if I'm really ok. She had this done over 4 years ago and she is so upset knowing how far I've come to have it pulled out from under me this late. She's been willing me for 12 days not to cheat on liquids and helping me through. So after the last call she said "why are you still talking to me, I would have already eaten everything in the house! Go eat something!!" :). It'll just become a peace you feel when you accept this was not your time and it's for reasons we may never see (I'm not quite there, but the process of sharing my disappointment and telling everyone has been therapeutic so far).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
