Guest guest Posted October 27, 1999 Report Share Posted October 27, 1999 Hi everyone, I am the unfortunate person who needs a RNY revison, I went to get preop stuff done today and saw my surgeon. He told me there is a chance that if the area around my stomach/pouch/small intestine is " one big ball of scar tissue " he may have to make a judgement call as to whether to do the revision or not. I just know that something like this will happen to me. I am now scared to death that they will get in there and have to just sew me back up. Please everyone pray for NO scar tissue on Nov. 8th. Thanks for being there for me. Darlene in Pa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news: I got my surgery date, finally! The bad news: It's June 26! Yikes! Dr. Zorn told me 6-8 weeks from my surgical consultation, but Lori at PB said they were running MUCH longer than that. June 26 is the *first* day Dr. Zorn had open. I am stunned at the delay.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Thanks, Susie. I *did* ask, but Myra, the surgery scheduler, said everyone wants to be on the cancellation list, and there is "little to no chance" that I'll be moved up, so don't count on it. Is that just something they say so as not to disappoint? I told them I needed 10 days notice on changing the date. Should I not have said that? I mean, will that delay me even more? Because I *guess* I can do with a week's notice instead of 10 days. Congratulations on being moved up!!! Laurie W.
