Lisa,
Glad I found you tonight. Been looking for someone my age also. I am Sherry from SC, 55yrs. old. My surgery is Aug. 31 in Charlotte, NC. All of this happened so fast,,,,,,my gastro Dr. here in SC sent me to NC to see specialist about doing surgery for my Acid Reflux! THis was July 15 ! Had no idea WLS was even an option for me. Drs. told me the refulx surgery would not go away until I lost weight, and they suggested gastric bypass. I almost fell off the exam table! My husband and daughter were with me and their mouths flew open too.
We came home and I begin to resheach, talk to people who had it done, etc.
I have had test run,,,upper GI,Stress Test, HIDA test , X-rays, saw my family Dr. etc. etc.
I am exhaused,,,, but excited.
I am almost 100lbs over weight and only 5'3 inches tall.
I have been on every diet known to man and then some. If I saw it on TV I bought it, pills, video's, etc.
I have not told many people about the WLS, only the reflux surgery. Just not ready for the whole town to know,,,,,,I live in a small town where everyone knows your name and business, lol
Would love to hear back from you and maybe we can help each other go throught this life change.

Have a great day,
God BLess,
Sherry

Topic: RE: Surgery date moved a day later..
Same thing happened to me. But, I found out the Friday before when i called the hospital to find out my surgery time. They did not have me on the list for Monday 8/3. Uggghh. couldn't BELIEVE I wasn't on the list. I called Dr. office and they said I was the 3rd instead of the 2nd and they had changed it a month before. They said they told me, but they had not. THAT is something I would have remembered....Good luck to you!
