ge0rgette2 95 Posted March 15, 2020 Well after being denied and appealing the surgery and waiting 7 weeks for a surgery date which is 3/18, I believe they are canceling my revision due to the virus. Because it’s elective. I hope I’m wrong. I am in so much pain from the heartburn. I’ve been on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. I’m so upset. 2 3 Slownstedy, Lynda486, Mello1 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The heartburn ick for another few weeks... until all the bans are lifted. I don’t wish the virus though on anyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teres36 49 Posted March 16, 2020 I’m scheduled for the 18th as well and have been suffering with horrible heartburn all week making it hard to walk at all. Worse when I stand up. I’m so scared that I will be cancelled as well. My only hope is there are no current cases in my area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ge0rgette2 95 Posted March 16, 2020 Yes. We have a bunch In Ny today and schools closed for 2 weeks. I can’t take the heartburn. I know people are sick. I just can’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello1 227 Posted March 16, 2020 Me as well and from what I'm hearing now, we may be on total lockdown within days, not 1-2 weeks. I will be calling the Bariatric office tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VIN_IN_AL 55 Posted March 16, 2020 I requested late April and was just given a date this morning of 4/20/2020. However even with a date over 4 weeks from now I was still told that date may change pending any negative info on COVID-19 for my immediate area, keeping fingers crossed...

My hospital has “no elective surgeries till 4/15”. This was the first avail date. I am disappointed but understand. My son gets married beginning of June so I wanted it all over lmao maybe they’ll lift the ban here. Unsure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
