Surgery Dates for July



Recommended Posts

I am 3.5 days post-op heading home!!! I did end up with a shocker when I woke up from surgery I ended up with a gastric sleeve due to my liver being too fatty and this was a safer option but they made the poach the smallest banana they could...just cant wait to get home

Just got approved yesterday' date=' finally! It feels so much less stressful, knowing that I am really, seriously approved. I guess the third time (submitting documents to my insurance) was the charm :) No more insurance battles! I was originally hoping for a May surgery date, then I was postponed to June, & now July. The scheduler is going to call me on Weds with my date. Really, really hoping for a July date. If she says August, I think I might have to scream![/quote']

Finally scheduled for July 31st! Only have to do a 2 day liquid diet and go to a pre-op appointment the day before surgery. I do need some labwork done the week before, but that's it!!!

Wow! Did you sign papers for him to do a different procedure than what you signed up for? If not, that seems a bit fraudulent. I would gather most docs would have sewed you back up and made you wait until the liver shrank. I'm kinda shocked. I bet you were to!

If you weren't told about this before hand then he should either do a revision free of charge or maybe you should seek a lawyers advice. That's soo crazy

Ok it was the best choice for my body and for my life. I didnt tell anyone this so that I would cause an uproar . I told u so that you could see that the drs really do have the best interests in heart . So I can live with this decision. I want you to trust your drs

I guess that's a good attitude to have but if I had woken to an irreversible surgery I didn't sign up for I'd be pissed! Best of luck with your sleeve! I hope it works wonderfully for you! Get better soon!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
