What was your surgery time?



Recommended Posts

Ugh, missed a call from my surgeons office. My check in time was supposed to be 9:30 tomorrow morning with surgery at 11:30. My new check in time is 1:00 so I assume my surgery wont be until 3:00. Has anyone else had that late of a surgery time? I sure hope they do not postpone it.

Well, my check in time was scheduled for 3:00 PM, and when I got there I learned that we had been bumped for an emergency. I didn't have my surgery until 9:00 PM. However, since then everything has gone according to plan.

I had to be there at 8 am and I was bumped because the person ahead of me had an emergency, I told them to please take their time, I told them I wasn't leaving with my entire stomach still attached so I had all the time in the world for that patient to get the care he needed! I don't even remember the rest of the day. I was up every hour walking with the nurses and weaned off the pain killers through the night. I was ready!!!!

Check in was 8:25 and surgery was to be 10:25 but prior ran long and was 11:00. Things happen. I don't think you'll be rescheduled

I just got a call from the surgeons assistant. She is super nice. I actually go in later. 2:00pm LOL. She said don't worry all is well and this is typical of surgery times. So I am going to make the best of it and go to the movies to see Tammy tomorrow since I have time. Thanks all!

I had a 1:30 check in, and I think didn't go back until close to 3:30. It was fine and I was still released at 8am the next morning.

      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
