Surgery postponed :(

Fernando · May 6, 2008

Well, the psyc dr. called today to let me know that he has talked to the bariatric coordinator and let her know that I am a suitable canditate for the lapband procedure and that we have the go ahead.

So now we just have to get back on the schedule. Should hear about that in a couple of days as the surgeon is banding others all day today

(Tuesday is the only day he does bands).

The only thing now is I am chaperoning a field trip to New York for my daughters 8th grade field trip and we will have to wait till I get back from that as it is on the 29th of May and I would not be in any shape for a 6 hour bus ride so soon after surgery... and now I can enjoy the trip more and eat at the special restaurants (with in reason, and if we are not on the pre surgery diet, which I already know I get to look forward too).

So I am back on track the snag is past us and all is good with the world for now... it will be great when I have a secure date again :lol:

Thanx for all the encouragement it means ALOT!!!

Well heard from the surgeons office this morning and we are on for June 3!!!

See the surgeon for final appt and to sign consent forms and to start the pre-surgery diet on May 22... I know that means I'll be on the diet for the field trip but that's ok... It will help me be BUSY and not thinking about not being able to eat :angry_smile:

And my mom is coming as a chaperone too so she will be in town still on the day of the surgeory. She is sitll asking if I am sure I want to really do this maybe being here will help ease her mind a little

Well heres to counting the days again!!!!

woo hooo

I'm glad to see that everything is all worked out and that you are cleared for surgery.

On the other end, you will have so much fun on your daughter's 8th grade trip. I went with my daughter 8th grade trip four years ago and loved it so much I took my family back at Christmas the same year. We went to DC, Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, Richmond, Amish Country and Gettysburg. We loved Virginia so much that we hope to live there some day. It's a very pretty state. Have fun in New York!

So glad things worked out for you and you don't have to wait too long! The field trip will be a blast and you will ahve something to look forward to when you get home. I know it kinda sucked at first, but it really seems like it worked out better for you with your mom being there and everything.
