Another delay liquid diet for 4 weeks cause you have to lose weight just getting really anxious to get this over with cause i know when i get discouraged i fell off the wagon and the excitement fades away i think if by the end of the year i dont have a date im not gonna go through it sorry really sad right know just needed to let it out :(

Go ahead...let it out. I remember the aggrivation with my dr's office prior to surgery too! I could have smacked the scheduler in the mouth more than once for making me jump througth hoops I thought were NUTS!

Hang in there... it'll happen. Just do as told and give it time. Althought I have to admit patience is NOT one of my strong points...so I totally understand!

I am so sorry to hear that things keep popping up that slow down the process. I remember in January thinking it would be forever away but its finally here. Tomorrow is my surgery. How long has it been for you since you made the first call for an appointment? Try not to get too discouraged. I was supposed to be in July but my insurance didn't like one of my monthly supervised diet notes so it held things up a little. I thought it was the end of the world at that time but I do believe everything happens for a reason and I think now, this time is better. All doctors are different. I did not even need a sleep test and my liquid diet was only 3 days prior to surgery. I do believe this will all work out to benefit you. Its okay to vent! Thats why we are here. Take care!

Thanks for your kind words i appreciate itits so hard because doing all these things is time consuming my surgeon asks for a lot of preop tests and consults but on the other hand i think the more he knows about your body the better so he knows what is he getting into beore surgery but his office is awful! And congratulations on your day! my best wishes for a quick recovery blessings :)

I know but you have to be on top of your game. Off topic but my son is special need & since he is 3 he is able to get free diapers & a special need stroller but after getting the run around from the company not the doctors. I went down to the doctor office to make the nurse find a company that deals with kids diapers & get moving with his. Stroller. He bangs his head & I love him to much. I fight for all my kids especially him. So fight for what you need & want like me. I don't give up.

      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.
