Question:
Has anyone waited forever just to get an initial consult w a surgeon and find out you

need another surgery unrelated to WLS? I know I must follow Drs orders, which I will, but just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I had to cancel my initial consult and I'm so bummed out! Guess it was just meant to be.    — Donna S. (posted on June 6, 2003)

I had an apendectomy while waiting for my date. I was worried because I had a slight complication and ended up in the hospital for a week instead of overnight. It really wasn't an issue even though it was just a couple of months before my RNY. Take care!

Hi Donna- Why did you have to cancel your initial consult? Couldn't they just push you back a few weeks or work with you? For most of us, the wait between the initial consult and the WLS is quite a while, long enough to (probably) resolve any other medical issues. Hope it all works out for you:o) And good luck with both surgeries. Mea
