A minor setback. My surgery was gonna be tomorrow March 11 but my ekg came back irregular. Can't get into see the cardiologist until the 28th. A little upset cause I was prepared and ready to go.

I know you're upset, but you really want to make sure you're in the best possible health for this. It's not that long of a weight & you know it will happen. Patience isn't one of my strong suits either so I know your frustration. Will be keeping good thoughts for you...

I was sitting in my motel room had already taken the milk of magnesia and called the hospital to check in and they told me my surgery had been cancelled because the insurance hadn't approved the change from band to sleeve but in reality my coordinator completely failed and never called the insurance ppl. So they pushed my surgery to oct 31 three weeks later. But things happen for a reason! Use this time to try and loose more weight so there will be less chance of complications and a smaller liver!

      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.
