Corona delaying weight loss surgery dates? Anyone?



Recommended Posts

All my pre-op appointments came to a standstill on March 12th, except for the 2 last pre-op education modules that were done with Zoom online. Last week most of the specialists re-opened. Yes! So now I have four things left to do: sleep study, mammogram, colonoscopy and cardiology clearance. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Had my RNY gastric bypass 2 days ago. I’m home and other sore I’m doing pretty good. Hang in there everyone your time is coming and it will be worth the wait in the end. Best of luck to everyone!

Back in mid-March I was offered a mid-April date, but decided to schedule for May 18 as I realized there were likely going to be some problems from COVID which I was hoping to miss. My May 18 date was canceled about three weeks prior to surgery and I just got rescheduled last week. My new date is July 6 and I am so excited I can hardly stand it! Hoping these next few weeks fly by!

I actually got pretty depressed when I was canceled and literally ate all day. Now I am just trying to lose the pounds I gained before I start my two week liquid diet.

Thank you to everyone sharing here! I love reading your stories.

Hi, everyone, checking in.

Since the last time I was here:

I got engaged after a long term relationship. I mean, the agreement was always verbal but I got a ring recently...

NJ began doing elective surgeries again, so I'm hopeful. Alas, my second surgery date passed three days ago, so...

But I did go through with getting my psych eval with the online service and it went great! My doctor should have the report by Monday and the psychiatrist is refunding my money because the telehealth session is covered by Medicaid. I feel really good about it.

So I guess now I just have to wait to be rescheduled. I hope everything works out this time.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
