Jemima, I have been worried sick about you and I really hoped that you would change your kind about more surgery. Although I fully understand why the decision has been a hard one; my thought process would have been the same. Has he given you any extra information to help you decide which surgery option to take? Have you been able to get any more feed in, since we met? And why the new pain in your tummy? Does he have any ideas?

I did hear him say yesterday that clinic looked manic today. I am keeping a very open mind as to whether surgery will go ahead. If I end up going home, so be it. I just don't know how much more my little body can hold out. My mind is far stronger.

Well my daughter has to go in at 2:30 they have a bed for her so I am sure your slot will become available later today. WE are both on a roll a very small one but none the less our prayers are working just not always answered how we would like them to be, our time is not always Gods time lol x

Well, today doesn't seem to be the day either. The Bariatric nurse came to see me and said she would go and have a word with the surgeons and see what she could find out. I asked if sending me to St Anthony's was a possibility and she said that they are cutting those surgical lists but if she presses them they may be able to sort something out. She said, that I shouldn't leave until the surgery is done but there is still no indication as to when that will be.
I really am considering if this is some kind of sign. Perhaps I should just leave it and wait for the Sleeve to stretch? She did mention the feeding tube being inserted again but I am reluctant to try that due to the drama I had with it before and I do not want the urgency to operate to dissipate. The nurse agreed.
She has just called. Even tomorrow isn't looking great.
How can this be allowed to happen? I am not angry but I am upset now. I don't want to get emotional because I truly believe that is hopeless but perhaps if I lost it, they would find a gap for me somewhere?

Here all the time.....
Thought this might be the case. From my appointment in Orthapedic & Scanning yesterday it's the same picture for the pressure on beds now it's winter.
I agree with Kathy to stay in until you are done, it's not our surgeons fault or him feeling guilty. You need a bed (currently ticked), you need theatre. Being resident gives you a better chance.
Your sleeve isn't going to get better and you know it. Don't exclude the feeding, you really need it, I may hate it and myself but as you saw I am healthy for it.
Stay

Aww honey I know it must be so hard to think of more nights without your babies and your husband but the flip side is it helps everyone if you can hang in there and get this op done. Finally you guys will be able to try and achieve some sort of normal. You can do this babe.

aWW MAN can't believe that has happened again to you. shocking it really is. Animals are not allowed to suffer in this way.
Daughter is in hospital now and baby sounds happy, they have inserted a pessary to help labour along she can now walk around to try and get things moving. I have thing ready in case we get a call through the night to go in. I am excited but little wary about how baby will be when she gets out.
THink long and hard about your decision I think you need to stay put but its eay for us to say when we are not in the position. Rest up and give that tired body some time to gather itself together.

I know it isn't the Surgeon's fault, I know it isn't anyone's fault really. But I am feel like I should be sticking up for myself somehow, fighting it out. I feel a bit useless really.
I won't leave, I will stay put until tomorrow at least. For now, I am watching Neighbours in the Day Space. I have no idea who these people are! But it's a lovely distraction.
Things sound like they moving along nicely for your daughter. I cannot believe how quickly it's all happening. I will keep logging in to see if there is any news. Xx

Hi A, I don't even know if I'm alright, lol.
They said I have been accepted for surgery and discharged me from the clinic as I am awaiting a surgery date. I called Dr Reddy secretary who then confirms I am on the list, but to see a psychiatrist and the next set of appointments are in March. Arrrgggggghhhhhhhh I just want to cry

But this is great news! The mental journey you have been on has been arduous, no wonder you want to cry. Do it. Let it all out and then you can let the excitement start to build.

A www thanks A, I don't even know if I can get excited. Until I see a operation date, I still feel in limbo but I certainly will shed a few tears.

Hi apositive
I really hope today is the day for you, someone in that hospital needs to put you first on the surgery list. If we could have moved you up the list by good wishes alone you'd be at home recovering by now!
Be thinking of you all day xxxx

Any news Chrisa? I have been thinking of you all night and praying all night. I didn't sleep much and that was a perfect use if my time.
Better Me (what's you name my love?), March will be here in the blinks of an eye. Enjoy your Christmas and if you haven't already started battling those food demons, it might be a good time to start or strengthen the tools you already have. All the best and u am looking forward to hearing all about your weightloss journey.
I don't think Mr Reddy is here today, the dietician told me a few weeks ago that he did not work on Thursdays but who knows what is going on downstairs. I may get a wee surprise today!
Thank you all for thinking of me.
