Hi everyone I was supposed to have surgery next Monday the 7th, but my surgeon isn't accepting my Psychiatrist clearance, so I have to make a new appointment with a new Psychiatrist, which will be on January 3rd, has anyone went thru this? I also stopped doing my liquid diet as of today :(

@April Marie

sorry bud, total bummer🙁

surgery hopefully will be sooner than later.

even though surgery is postponed, don't go on an eating binge!!

you don't want to gain before WLS, than have to loose more.

good luck

My surgery was also postponed - three times, actually. It sucked. I wanted to start my new life ASAP. I was so excited to do things that were challenging for me as a heavy person. I decided to start my new life regardless of my surgery date and embrace the extra time - like having extra time to study for a test. It really helped me through the anxiety and the uncertainty of having my dates rescheduled. It also helped me lose 50 pounds before surgery and get me to a lower weight on surgery day.
I didn’t ignore the crappy feelings and took the small victories where I could. I don’t know if my experience will help at all but I hope this time isn’t too tough for you. Waiting is hard. But as they say, don’t quit before the miracle happens!

Sorry to hear this, but it's actually probably good news. Cuz your surgeon flagged a potential issue with the eval. And if it didn't fly past him, it prolly wouldn't have flown past insurance. So he's looking out for you! And as @raeraerae said in her excellent post, it gives you more time to work on you!!!

The qualification time is hard, just take it one day at a time and don't quit!

Well I keep on keeping on. But I am learning to accept my age.
I'm old enough to know better
Young enough not to care
Experienced enough to do things right
& I realize how blessed I am to have this chance at a better life.
I can't stop now, I have too many nay-sayers to prove wrong at this time. But thanks for caring enough to ask!😝

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
