Kami63 215 Posted June 7, 2013 Well the insurance part is. yay! I have been approved and I am scheduled for 06/25 but I had an egd done wed. And they discovered that I have an irregular heartbeat so I have to get cardiac clearance to do the surgery. It runs in my family but I did not think I had it. I was lucky in that I got an appt Mon with a Cardiologist and I am hoping it will only take a few days to get cleared. Cutting it too close for comfort. I won't be satisfied until I am I'm the recovery room and my surgeon tells me he has successfully removed my band and sleeved me...lol i hope you know I wasn't saying that to diminish how you feel in any way. I was letting you know that sometimes the battles are long and hard but don't give up! I am tired of fighting but who else is gonna fight for me and my health....

MichiganChic 3,262 Posted June 8, 2013 So sorry to hear this I can imagine how you must feel, because I know what an impatient person I am, and I'd be beside myself. But from a clinical standpoint, it is the best thing to have found this and treat it. Both of those diagnosis would have a major impact on you and your recovery. Even going in with a perfectly healthy Iron level, it can quickly become too low, which is a common problem post op. This way you will be in the best of health and set yourself up for full recovery and weight loss success. Hang on just a little more, and hope you are feeling better soon! (PS - and make sure you take those iron pills correctly to get the maximum benefit/absorption ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheeze82 59 Posted June 8, 2013 I have been taken 2 and I'm only supposes to take 1 a day! But my Iron has been low for years so I do t understand why they wait right before the surgery to tell me they gotta postpone it they could of told me a month ago you know!

chinamama 104 Posted June 8, 2013 I wonder if its still the ulcers they are worrying about, could they be bleeding?? I know ulcers are something they are really concerned about post-op. According to my surgeon that is the reason for no caffeine right after surgery, they are concerned about our developing ulcers along the staple line from the acid from coffee.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
