oh wow! Well the good news is that you have a responsible team who dealt with the urgent matter first. I know it sucks and I can't imagine how disappointing it is but at least you are safe right now. I was told before I went in that it's possible they would abort the procedure if something comes up. I am sad for you that this happened. :( How shocking and a huge let down. How are you feeling?

OMG...sorry to hear that you went in for one procedure and woke up to another. Just look at it on the brighter side. I'm sure it will happen. It's just been delayed. Hang in there.

Oh wow! I'm sorry to hear that. I was waiting to see how you were doing. I used to see you on the pre op board a lot. Hang in there. July will be here before you know it.

I'm sorry you have to wait but it is good they discovered your spleen problem. I read A LOT before my surgery to find out all I could and did read that sometimes they do find the spleen needs to be removed but often they remove and proceed with the surgery - sounds like you had a special case.

Look at it this way....there is a reason - who knows why but you were not mean to have the sleeve that day. I am sure all will go well in July. Be patient (I guess you have to) and continue to work on your pre-op diet. Good luck to you.

I'm sorry :( That must have been so disappointing.

It's good that they were able to take care of your spleen though. July will be here before you know it.

      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.
