surgery date moved

 due to having knee surgery on the 15th, my knee surgeon told my stomach surgeon that he recommended waiting for 8 wks for me to have my stomach surgery.  so now my date is Oct 10.  no problem....  

My surgeon told me that they do the surgery while you are in a standing position for 3 hrs.  wow...  when she first told me that I had to wait, I thought to myself, "man another detour/roadblock".. IF this keeps going, I'll have my surgery aroudn the time for my birthday... which is Nov 6.  lol....

I have a stress test this friday.. they will inject me with stuff to increase the heart rate.. now, that scares me...

"My surgeon told me that they do the surgery while you are in a standing position for 3 hrs."  

That sounds strange to me- you might want to double check on that...

 where was yours at?  Mine will be at Geisinger in Danville

Well, at least you won't be on liquids for your daughters wedding! Gotta look on the bright side!!

The doctors are erring on the side of caution, which is what they should do....believe me I know! It took me over a year to get approved and then I went to have my PAT's and they wouldn't let me have the surgery because of an ongoing medical issue. Once I got that figured out, I had the surgery about two months later. That was three years ago and about 120lbs ago....it will happen!!

Good luck!

 that's true.  I'm making bake pop cakes for her wedding as party favors.
I can have a piece of her wedding cake, too...  

I tried  the dress on today that I wore when I married my 2nd hubby.  It will be 16 yrs come december for us being married.  The dress fit even though there was still some tummy buldge.  IT FELT GOOD to fit into that dress.
