Caribear 184 Posted June 28, 2016 I'm sorry to hear that your surgery was postponed, but it really is for the best. You want to be as healthy as you can be when you go in for surgery. Hopefully everything is cleared soon, and you can get right back on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted June 28, 2016 Patience is a virtue, right? Yeah, right... Wouldn't you like to kick "patience" right in the butt, right? I'm so sorry you've hit this bump in the road when you're so close to starting your journey --post op. All of the old clichés don't help much, I know, so I won't repeat any more of them. Just know that there are folks out here who care about you. And We're listening---any time. Keep posting and letting us know when you've conquered these last bothersome "bumps".

James Marusek 5,244 Posted June 28, 2016 I am sorry to hear you are running into problems. One individual in our Bariatric Surgery Group had his surgery scheduled, the date was fixed and only days away. But his pre-op tests uncovered a problem. He was about to have a massive heart attack. The surgeon called him and asked him to come to the hospital immediately. He had open heart surgery shortly after arriving at the hospital. It saved his life. After he recovered from the operation, he was back on track for his bariatric surgery and showed up at the next meeting with a new date. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Djmohr 6,965 Posted June 29, 2016 @@Thendy I am sad that your surgery has been postponed! I can remember how bumps in the road made me cry uncontrollably. I was so ready to begin my new life. I know that you are already glad that they found this problem because it likely would have caused complications almost right away. They want you to go into surgery with a good solid base because there are a couple of months right afterward that literally sucks all the stacked up nutrients away from you. The best thing is to get your infusion and follow up with a cardiologist to make sure your heart is healthy enough to go through such a major transition. The surgery is the smallest part, it's life after and learning your way that takes a lot out of us. I hope everything works out for you and you are back on the schedule quickly. Keep us posted and certainly reach out if you need anything. Hugs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
