Discouraged and Need to Vent



Recommended Posts

Sorry, but I just need to vent. I'm 5 weeks post op and was scheduled to have my first fill Tuesday. I've been at a weight lost of only 9.5 lbs since surgery. I've been walking everyday for 30 minutes because that's all I'm allowed at this time. I actually did it twice in one day and still no weight loss. I've been at this weight for probably 2 weeks.

Tuesday, when I was scheduled for my fill, I got a call that they had emergency surgery and needed to reschedule and it would probably be next week since it had to be scheduled by the doctors PA and had to be done in the hospital. I understand and said no problem. Okay, I called Wednesday and was told that the PA was unavailable and would call. Okay, it's now Thursday and still no phone call to reschedule. I felt like a pest but I called again and asked if she was available and of course they were in surgery all day today. I told the receptionist well I figured that since my surgery was done on a Thursday, and usually the PA doesn't work on Fridays. She said that she would leave her a message and she would get back to me. Sure, they promise you they will be there for you, but that's not the case.

I would like to get things moving and feel very discouraged because I want to see movement on my weight. People keep asking well how much have you lost and it's still the same. I know I seem very impatient, but when you work out and eat less and still no result. I feel like a failure.:thumbdown:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
