New info!!

As most of you know I have had 2 dates so far the first one was on the 30th of October and it got postponed due to a problem with the anestholigist, was rescheduled for the 13th of NOV went to my Dr appt on the 30th and was told that date was CANCELLED...My surgeon is active Duty military and is being deployed, so I was left back at square 1, Well took the inititive to call DR Warnock in Wichita Falls TX about ab hour from here, and was told to come in on the 7th yesterday.. Went and met him he is the most fabulous man ever very caring and gentle and to the point, needless to say thought I would have to start over but since he knows I was having surgery 2 times and got bumped both times he said I was ready to go and he would schedule me in DEC... I was ok with that it isnt to far off... Went to his scheduler and she got me a date of the 27th of NOV,,,,,YEAH>>>>>>>> the big difference in my surgerys is 1) no chance of cancellation he is a bariatric surgeon and is at a center of excellance.. 2) i have to do a 10 liquid diet, didnt have to do that with the other surgeon 3)have to do a bowel prep didnt have to do that before either 4) only 2-4 days in hospital compared to 5-7 with old surgeon.,.. SO I AM VERY HAPPY, not about the 10 day liquid diet that will be through Thanksgiving I have to start it on the 17th..but getting a definant date...GO ME.... AlohajenniH

Awesome news!!! It sounds like things are working out for the better (I love when that happens!) The liquid diet isn't THAT bad... (I'm on day 8 of my required 14)... it's all a matter of getting your head around it and understanding the importance I guess. Marilyn

Thanxs Marilyn, I am more worried about the Thanksgiving dinner then the liquid diet..I even thought at the beginning I would just liquidfy everything i wanted to eat and then my DR said NOPE......... jello,crystal lite, water, broth,and a south beach meal replacement bar one in the morning and one in the evening.. thats for chewing purposes.. oh and 4 protein shakes a day... AlohajenniH

That is wonderful news Jenn... everything happens for a reason and now you know why you have gone through what you have. Sounds like you will be in good hands... Best of luck to you.... Shawn M.

Great news Jenn !!!! It sounds to me like this Dr. is even better Everything happens for a reason, maybe it was for a better Dr. ?? I am very excited for you Huggs & Blessings, Lori

Thanxs Lori!! I am so excited i can hardly sit here.....I agree this must be the better DR for me, he sure knows his stuff so I am pretty happy about that although my other Dr knew her stuff too, but my hubby like this one much better, and if he feels better with this dr then i feel better he is the one who will be talking to the DR more then me...LOL So I am closer to the rear of the month with you now you dont have to be lonely...LOL Alohajennih

Jenn that is the greatest news you could possibly have gotten. Good luck with your new date and there will be plenty of Thanksgiving's to come in the future. Michelle

Hi Jenn, When i was having my surgery ,my mother knew i was going to be on liqiuds for thanksgiving so she cooked a turkey dinner the week before my surgery . Maybe you and your family can celebrate early before the liqiuds...just a thought. Good Luck with your upcoming surgery. deb

Most EXCELLENT news!!! I'm so happy for you! Keep your eye on the prize. Hopefully Thanksgiving won't be too bad.
