You may not be in the June club anymore, but I'm sure the July club will be happy to have you! Hang in there, it's just a delay. It's not an outright denial. Get that sleep apnea under control, it really is that important.

I know how frustrating it is too wait, I was suppose to have surgery on 12/8 and did not have it until 4/9. Though I did not see anything positive about it at the time, looking back I was able to take more time to prepare and be ready. I went in without a second thought and breezed through the surgery and recovery. As the old saying goes "good things come to those who wait" take some time to be frustrated and even pout and then pick yourself up and keep on doing everything you can to prepare for the surgery. Best of luck to you :)

I am doing well, thank you both! Just like many people have said, my abs feel sore like I've done 1000 situps and I occasionally get some back pain. They gave me a prescription for liquid hydrocodone to take twice a day and it helps immensely.

It seems I woke up from anesthesia in a panic because they had laid me flat and I can't breathe when I'm flat because of my weight. I remember the anesthesiologist yelling at me to calm down and stop fighting. :lol: Once they elevated me it was a lot better. The only pain I felt immediately after surgery was a gas pain that would not go away. They offered me pain meds and I took them. Two hours later when they were rolling me out of the recovery room to my room I was in a great mood and laughing and joking with everyone.

      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.
