Surgery Postponed...Fustrated

[jen_ngah 0]

Just found out today that because of my overactive thyroid they will be rescheduling my surgery. Very upset, half way through the pre-op diet and will have to start all over again next week. It's for the best don't want to get in the OR and my heart rate skyrockets and something goes seriously wrong. But at the same time, hard to get emotionally prepared for something like this and have it fall through....for now.

Oh Jen! I'm sooooo sorry to hear that. I have hypothyroidism adn i go for my pre-op testing on tomorrow and i'm praying for no glitches in my schedule for my surgery date on the 20th. But yeah it is best that you dont get in OR and have something go terribly wrong. I hope everything gets back on track soon.

Just started the process too and I just found out that my thyroid is overactive too. I also have nodules on mine that need to go for a biopsy. Just aggrevated that I finally make the decision to get the lapband and now this. I asked my surgeon if I hould prolong going to all thee appointments for medical clearance and they said no. But I kinda of feel like its a waste at this time--SOOOO CONFUSED!!!!!

A week before my surgery I ended up having to postpone because a preexisting bloodclot was not resolved. Clearly I had to wait but i was DEVISTATED. I ended up having to wait 4 MONTHS. So I know how you feel.
