Ki.B 10 Posted November 3, 2016 So today is my sleep study consult after the consult I'll have to do the study and next week is my last nutritionist appointment. I was told that I'll get a surgery date but it's been so many ups and downs with this journey I do t even believe them!! I haven't gained or lost any weight since I've started this journey I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.... to be truthfully honest , I'm just ready to get this show on the road ! The fact that I don't have a date is killing me & im loosing hope... help! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted November 3, 2016 This whole process is an opportunity to practice patience, polite persistence, and perseverance. Just breathe and take the next right step that is in front of you. Everything will work out the way it is supposed to. Edited: because it was gibberish.

The New Kel 1,312 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Hang in there @@Ki.B I know how hard the waiting is and going through the months of procedures. But it will pay off, and you will have your surgery date!My journey to get a date took forever. I went to one surgeon and was on a waiting list to see him for 3 months. THE DAY OF the consult, I showed up, and the receptionist told me my consult was cancelled and the surgeon was taking 4 months off!! And he might not return!! I went home devastated. My husband encouraged me to look up another surgeon and I found Dr Lara, thank God. When I was through with all my nutritionist appointments and all the tests, (about 6 months into my Quest for surgery), Dr Lara called and said I had to have my gallbladder removed FIRST, then wait 6 weeks for Sleeve surgery. I was again deflated. But I went along with it. Finally, I got my date, October 3. It took 9 months to get to surgery date. But as my husband reminded me, 9 months really isn't a big deal considering how long I have been overweight and that I have my whole life ahead of me to enjoy the new me. He was right, and now the 9 months seems more trivial. Hang in there and know that you are really close!! It will happen, stAy positive!

Aggiemae 739 Posted November 5, 2016 Isqueezed the sleep study in between my last monthly class and my pre options appointment. It was crazy because the sleep study Dr said I didn't need cpap just an oral appliance but the bariatric surgeon insisted. Not sue why I had to have the study... I hate the cpap. It wakes me up constantly with this loud farty noise and thus far I have not woken up feeling at all "well rested and refreshed". The darn thing reports back to headquarters so I must comply. I plan returning it as soon as I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
