Postponing...:(

Hi everyone,

Well I tried calling Martine this week because it's been 4 months already I've had my pre-op testing. I left a message and got a call back yesterday from Danielle. She told me that they foresee "maybe" by december or january for my surgery...maybe, originally I was told by October.

I was told that other surgeries take up the operating room time and our bariatric surgeries get pushed further. I do understand but I'm still not happy about it. I reminded her that Martine told me that the pre-op tests were ok for only up to 4 months and she told me that the only test I may have to re-do is the ECG and that they would do that on the day of the surgery.

So am waiting some more...december will be 2 years I had my consult with Dr.Garneau...

On another note...always happy to hear that everyone is doing well and that eventually I will be sitting with you guys on that bench.

Hugs,
Ada

Ada I'm so sorry to hear it's taking longer than expected.
Hang in there it will be here soon.

Hi Ada,
Sorry to hear about them postponing but it's just another small bump in the road. December/January will be here in no time and soon enough you'll be on the bench with us. Looking back, the last 6+ months have gone by so fast and this weight has too so by this time next year, we will both be living healthier lives then we ever have! 

Talk to you soon girl!

Hi Robyn

So we are both in the same situation...wouldn't it be great if we had our surgeries the same day!

Ada

hi ada,

I actually spoke to danielle today, it is not everyone who has to take the sleep apnea and internest exam, only if the dr. has asked for it......so at this point, I was told I do not need anymore tests....

I called to find out about the november schedule, which dr. garneau at the moment does not have any days in surgery...... I did ask when she thought I would get a date, she said december january again....

So holding my breath, crossing my fingers................ if your anxious she said that the december 
schedule will be out at the end of october.

who knows we maybe together that day..........
  
inquired about optifast the two week fast, he said if anyone could lose 20 pounds and more before the date of surgery, you need not fast all at once for two weeks, it is merely to allow the liver to shrink for easy access.............
