So sad that tomorrow is not my surgery date



Recommended Posts

So tomorrow was supposed to be my surgery date. I keep trying not to think about it and to let it go but it keeps haunting me. I guess I should be glad that at least I was rescheduled for 9 weeks from tomorrow but I am not very patient and it is killing me. Please say prayers for me to be more patient! :huh:

Why was it postponed?

((hugs n kisses for you))

When I went in form my pre-surgery testing they found that I am very anemic so we have to get that all under control first.

Sorry to hear your surgery was canceled. I know it's hard to wait, but I am praying that you stay positive and optimistic. It will all work out for the best.

I know how you feel as I was scheduled for surgery in December and arrived at the hospital that morning, but was sent home due to chest congestion and cough. I was not able to reschedule until April so had to wait four months. I know it is disappointing, but the time will pass quickly. I was disappointed, but also knew that I wanted to be healthy when I had surgery in order to recover as quickly as possible.

I know that I would be very upset, but all I can say is that ask yourself what is best for you? I'm sure the doctors know what's best or they would be doing it today. Also offer up your impatience to God. Sometimes this can be very helpful for me.... Good luck!

It is pretty unfortunate that this had to happen...but trust me YOU are lucky to be in the hands of physicians that took this decision. I see some doctors that 'jump the gun' and say 'just give the patient some blood and send him/her to the OR in a few hours". Many complications arise in this manner.

So stay strong...I know you probably think it is easy to say, but we are all behind you and hope that in 9 weeks you will start shedding those pounds!!

Thank all of you so much for the support! My brain knows it is best that it was postponed but my heart begs to differ! I am sure it will all turn out for the best. :rolleyes: I am obviously in good hands with the surgeon I have who is watching out for my best health!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
