Well today was supposed to be my date to get banded, but it didnt happen. Something came up with the pre admission testing, so am going to cardiologist again today. What really sucked is that surgeon called last night and told me they would have still done the surgery today if I wasnt on blood thinners.

So its off to get test results today nad hopefully talk to the surgeons office about a new surgery date thats not to far off.

I'm really sorry to hear that :thumbup: I understand, because my original surgery date was also postponed. I was also devastated, but I tried to look at it as one more week to do my pre-op diet and lose a little more weight before surgery. That way I knew there would DEFINITELY be no problem with my liver at surgery. Hang in there, and I'm sure your new date will be scheduled before you know it! Good luck with your test results!

Better to be safe than sorry and take no chances with your health. I know you are disappointed, but time will pass. Take this extra time to build your strength and drop some pounds as IsaV said.

Best wishes,

Mimi

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
