I originally had my sleep study scheduled for next Saturday. I received a call last night that they had a cancellation for tonight and did I want it. I said sure, wanting to get things moving. You can't imagine how upset I was to have them call at 2:00 today to cancel the appointment due to weather. There wasn't even 2 inches of snow fall last night - what the crap!!!! So I call to reschedule only to find that my originally scheduled time next weekend was already filled. Now I have to wait until the 15th of February, setting me back 2 weeks because this now means I have to also reschedule with the pulmonary Dr. GRRRRRR!!!!!! Not a happy girl right now. :s

I can imagine how frustrating that can be. Hang in there and take it one day at a time. I don't know about you, but my weeks have been flying by...it is already February! Can you believe it? Turned in my Psych tests, have to wait for his approval, 2 more classes and my next appointment is in a week and a half. Praying all comes together for us all soon.

I'm so sorry SugarFreeMe!

The same thing happened to me last week except the appt was for my very first consult for referral to a surgeon.. Anyhow it was cancelled due to weather.. I cried for 2 days because I had been really excited about my appt and getting the ball rolling. My rescheduled appt is this Tuesday...

I feel for you and I am sorry.

I would call back and INSIST on a earlier appointment. You were doing them a favor by filling a opening now that there is snow they put your appointment even further back - call them back and insist !!! This is not a good way to threat your clients !!!!

I received a call today from the sleep study group to apologize for their error. They rearranged things so that I can get my original appointment back for this coming Saturday. I was go happy, I was just getting ready to call the pulmonary office and reschedule with them, now I don't have to. Also received a call from my surgeons office. All is good with the insurance company, they have everything they need. As soon as I get pulmonary clearance the surgeons office will submit the final paperwork and give me a date. Hopefully I'm still good for Mid-March. It's hard to believe this is really going to happen. I've been contemplating it for so many years. Beyond excited right now!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for your encouragement and kind words.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
