siniam21 0 Posted February 5, 2007 my name is sinia mejia i was referred to a lap band specialist because of my obesity, i weigh 240 ibs and im 5'3 the doctor said i was a perfect canidate for the surgery, so i got a bunch of testing done,and ive completed all that, i had a sleep test done and i was diagonosed with sleep apnea, now they said i have to sleep with a cpap machine 30 days prior to the surgery also i met with a nutrionist and psciatrist, they both cleared me for the surgery but, i am in a drug and alcohol program because i am an addict, i relapsed in november , ive been attending meetings and i really have gotten myelf together and i have maintained my sobriety, but now the pshciatrist is asking my program for a letter of compliance and also a letter stating that they will be my support after surgery, so i spoke to my social worker about it and she said she was gonna call the surgeons office and see exactly what they need. now im very worried because im scared that they ask if i relapsed or anything and i really don't want anything to affect me getting my surgery. my social worker said that she can write me a letter saying ive been complying and they will be my support but she said shes gonna call and make sure. so my questions is can this situation push me back from my surgery, because i relapsed and used only marijuana, can that possibly be a reason for my surgeon not to want to do the lapband surgery for me someone please help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
