I was told to stop my sinemet for Parkinson’s disease before RNY. Anyone know if this is permanent?

Im January 18th !!! UNLESS the covid cancels it. Our local hospital just cancelled all non emergency surgeries because of covid for the first two weeks of January.

Hopefully for me, all systems GO!!! Fingers crossed.

Today I almost had a heart attack, they called me to delay the operation but it was only about the time not the day.

I get it.. Every time the phone rings I'm afraid it's the doctor calling to cancel surgery.

I’m on day 3 of my liquid diet, I ended up eating yesterday, it was small but I got back on track. I’m struggling a bit with my Protein Drinks. I was so use to mixing it with my iced coffee, that now without it I hate it, and have a tropical punch Protein Powder but it’s not filling. I’m definitely on the struggle bus with this.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
