Prayers Needed......surgery May Be Back On!



Recommended Posts

Saw the hematologist today after being told I have to cancel due to severe anemia. I am having lots of blood tests done. If they all come back normal and only show Iron malabsorption deficiency then I will receive 3 iron iv infusions and if I'm normal by Wednesday I will be cleared for surgery on the 20th!!!! If bloodwork shows any abnormality Monday then the deal is off. Please pray everything comes back normal and I can finish this journey as planned and begin my new life healthy and well.

Oh I hope things work out for you. I can only imagine the heartbreak you had to endure when they told you it would be canceled. I will say prayers and send well wishes that all goes positively. Keep your head up...

Sending you bright green energy!!! Take some time and meditate and SEE yourself getting the surgery...go inside and imagine your body creating your blood platelets and try aligning your chi. Try "you tube" for meditation and breathing examples.

so sorry you are having these problems with your date of WLS - hopefully things will go well and the surgery will be 7/20 as planned.

you probably have been heavy for many years,(is it ok to say that?) so having to wait a month or so to solve a medical problem is a good choice per dr.

you will get the WLS sooner than later - but saying that doesn't help you, sorry :(

you are have malabsorption problems now before WLS

Gastric Bypass has many problems with absorption.

The SLEEVE has no malabsorption problems :)

this is just one more reason that the sleeve is the way to go for WLS

good luck in your journey towards sleeve

      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.
