May 2018 RNY Scheduled

[Charity G 46]

Is anyone else scheduled to have RNY in early May 2018? My new surgery date is May 3rd. I was originally scheduled for April 10, but a week before surgery, the anesthesiologist required me to switch to a larger hospital due to my history of Congestive Heart Failure. Now, I've got 14 days to go and can't wait!

How long did it take you before they called with your surgery date?? Is it covered by your insurance??

Charity, we are surgery twins—I’m also having RNY on May 3rd! I wish you the best of luck! Feeling pretty nervous but also very happy to be moving forward.

Make that triplets!! I’m Scheduled for May 3rd as well! I’m having an RNY - revisional from band to sleeve and now RNY.

I assume you guys started your pre-op liquid diet today too...?

[Charity G 46]

Wishing you all great success and quick healing!

@Nowheregirl - My surgeon doesn't require a liquid diet THANK GOD! His only requirement is that at least two weeks prior to surgery you adhere to a 1400 calorie diet and that you do not go above your weight recorded at your one month prior appointment.

Also, I see you had a band before. I had a band put in in 2002, but had to have it removed in an emergency surgery in 2010 thanks to it eroding into my stomach. I'm just now venturing back into the WLS pool. I hope I have more success and less complications this time around.

@Gangidiane58 - Yes, my surgery is covered by my insurance. I started the process in December 2017 and had my surgery originally scheduled in early April (doc was traveling in March so appointments weren't available then).

Yep. Not so bad so far, though I was pretty hungry this morning. I am hoping that once I get through this weekend it will be smooth sailing until May 3rd. How about you?

So Charity G where will you be having your surgery? Remember talking with you a couple months back but hadn't seen any postings until today. Still haven't completed my surgery but hopeful it will be soon. Keep me in the loop as things change.😜

@frust8 I'm having my surgery at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. I was really upset to have to push back the date, but I know things happen for a reason.

And we have to believe things are going to work out well. Sending a hug to you out there, ❤I've got your back emotionally okay? We are going to give you a good future with this surgery. Now smile!😜
