So bummed

[KartMan 58]

Had my VSG revision (from LapBand) scheduled for tomorrow (8/15/17) in Mexico. Got down to do the pre-op testing. All was going well, vitals were all good, I lost the prescribed weight, but then...

Apparently either I missed the question or it wasn't recorded properly in the pre-screen that I have had Hepatitis B in the past. Mind you, my HepB was 30 years ago and was acute (meaning no ongoing symptoms). Also, I had LapBand 8 years ago and there were absolutely no liver issues then and I have numerous liver panels through the years with no ongoing liver function issues.

However, out of an abundance of caution - they want to run a fresh liver function blood test and the results take 10 days to process. Assuming it's good, they will reschedule. This means my surgery is postponed a minimum of two weeks and possibly longer depending on their availability. The real kick in the teeth is I have to stay on the pre-op diet the whole time.

Good news, liver blood test came back ok so I have a new date of 9/7/2017 set.

Awesome news! Are they removing the Band and giving you the sleeve all at once? I just had my band removed a week ago. My sleeve is scheduled for November 13. Good luck to you!!

That is the plan. I've had my band unfilled for about 2 months so hopefully as long as there are no hidden complications they can do both at once.

I'm sure it will go great!! Prayers for you and your journey!
