I got screwed over

OK,LIKE I said before  I originally was given  the 12th for my preop and was  only told to start  my diet on 11th,the liquid  diet.And that the dr  expected me to have lost between 20 and 30 pounds  or he  would cancel my surgury  on the morning  off...then  they call me  up and  tell me  bellows will be out off town the 12th and  I have to  go do preop the 6th. So I  go,and venessa  postponed my  surgury  to  august 17th and did not do preop,but  told me I have to  go in on the 12th to do preop plus go in on 26th to weigh in and  that I have to have lost 30 pounds  or  they will cancel the date again,She chewed me out for  not haveing lost  the weight already ,I said well my diet does not start  till  3 weeks  before surgury,she argued that i was  told to be dieting this entire time,which is not true,they are full of crap,I was never instructed to loose 30  pounds by now.Im soooo  incredibly pissed and  tired of being screwed around.These trips  are not exactly free for me,we live 4 hours one way  so that is  8 hours round trip.Are any of yall getting messed around like this also?

I am sorry that you are going thru this. It has occured to me that they change things and make up rules as they go. It has happened more than a few times and to a few people that I know. Another OH member has also been moved back but not as far as you were. I drove from Vinton to New Orleans for my stuff also. It is a pain but fuss complain get it all out.  As soon as you have your surgery and are on the mend i promise it will all be worth all of the aggrivation and trouble. I  hated dealing with their drama but now its all over and I have not been back since i recovered. Dont give up hope.  You will get there.

It helps to not know im alone in this treatment,I told them that If id have ever been  told that  I had to have 30 pounds off by a certain date Ida had it off,but  they where just looking for a reason to cancel me, first off the  bat she was questioning me about  red marks on my  shoulder and elbow,I told her its just from swimming in  clorine and sal****er at the hotel,that it was nothing,thats when she started on me about the weight loss,she told me that I was not ready to have the surgury that if I was then I would be dieting every day,lol...what a joke.I told her look  we where on vacation the  entire months of june,I did diet,I think I was lucky to not have gained anything.And again that if I would have been told that I had to loose that much by then It would had been done.

I had problems with my pre op and now post op appt in the manner of being told i only had X amount to do ( i live 2 hours aways) but then it ended up being a lot more... no one told me to lose any weight before i started liquids either...  louisianacountrygirl didnt you say you had to go back at 2 weeks then 2 months??? because they are making me go every 2 weeks for the first 3 months.. and to be honest im not going to all those appts.. im going on the 20th and if ok im gonna start seeing my pcp because they dont do anything but look at incisions....

I have to go back on the 12th,which  sucks,But I will have some weight lost  by then It will feel good to at least show them  hey this was on you cause if ida been  told to  lose a certain amount ida done it.I prolly will only lose 7 pounds or so but its something ,thats only 6 days away.

Do you have to use your doctor?  Because my doctor is really cool.

well all but the part about going on vacation for two weeks....How dare he, right?

When I had lap-band with him he wasn't really worried with pounds just getting the fat off the liver.  I have to do 2 weeks of liquid diet.

Yes I have to  use him,I love the surgical specialist they are great ,dr steavens  did my hubbys surg.The fat  off liver is what I was sopoed to  do also,which is the 3 weeks of  high protien liquid diet.But  they decied to mess with me  and make  up things as they go.

sorry you are going thru this hopefully you will be looking back at all this later good luck~!

I have lost 9 pounds so far.I  saw the  nurses and venessa on the 6th and then  went back on the 12th  and did my preop.I have to again return on the 27th to be weighed in.If ive lost my weight ill get my surgury on the 17th of august. So that will be haveing to have gone 3 times this month on a 8 hour round trip because these people are crazy!

I was originally scheduled for pre opt June 22, and surgery july6th. oh and told to lose 14 pds by my surgery date. Well i was rescheduled for surgery July 13, and then got a phone call that it is pushed back to July 20th. well I have lost the weight and lets not forget will have been on a liquid protein diet for 30 days the day of surgery. It is crazy, I know. So im praying this Wednesday morning I will be under the knife. This liquid diet is literally driving me crazy , very week, and very constipated. I wish you luck.
