First Post- Sitting On Pins And Needles



Recommended Posts

My rny surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, 11.13. We sent off the approval paperwork on 10.29. If it comes back TODAY, we are moving forward with the date, otherwise it will be rescheduled. I am so anxious I can't stand it.

crossing my fingers and toes that you get approval today. I know you are about to go nuts waiting, I wish I had a magic wand to make it easier. A few days ago I was counting down the hours, then while getting ready to be rolled back to surgery on Wednesday the surgeon comes in and says my blood sugar is too high for it to be safe to operate. I was devastated. So I know if you have to be resecheduled you will feel the same. So now I am scheduled for Dec. 5 and now back to counting days instead of hours. Waiting sucks, it just does.

      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.
