BlkmikeG 0 Posted June 5, 2011 I am sitting here literally in tears right now. My surgery is set for tomorrow June 6th at 10:15 am. I woke up last night with a fever and chills, temp 102.3. I am pretty sure the surgery wont continue and my doctor is booked up for months. My journey started a long time ago and required another surgery before this one was to happen. I have worked my ass off for this day and now this. All the hoops and twists and turns, I am just so upset. I know i dont want to be sick before surgery of this type but im just a mess right now. Anyone else had this to happen to them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valentina 2,642 Posted June 5, 2011 Let your surgeon make the decision. Are you sure you are not having panic attacks?? That being said, wrap your head around --it is out of your hands. Let your surgeon know and he will make the decision. If you do have to cancel, your surgeon always has the option of putting you in before others or after others on another day. Keep your chin up. What will be will be. You will have your sleeve. Keep us informed, Valentina I am sitting here literally in tears right now. My surgery is set for tomorrow June 6th at 10:15 am.

Disney 20 Posted June 5, 2011 Yes, maybe he can work you in before someone else. Maybe someone who hasn't waited as long or been through as much as you. I hope so. OR, maybe he will still be able to do the surgery. You just never know. Good luck to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KellyL 173 Posted June 5, 2011 I'm so sorry, I know how upsetting this is. I got sick the wk before my surgery and stayed that was until just a couple days before I had to leave. Thankfully it all worked out for me. I had been researching 7 yrs and I was very ready to get it done. I hope you get better in time for your surgery. and try not to stress too much. Just let your dr know and he will make the decision based on what is best for you. Good luck and let us know!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted June 5, 2011 A lot can happen in 24 hours, wait and let the surgeon make the call. I am sure that you won't be put at the back of the schedule, they have to make some consideration for emergencies and issues that pop up. We all wish you well.

Tamz 8 Posted June 5, 2011 I am sitting here literally in tears right now. My surgery is set for tomorrow June 6th at 10:15 am. I woke up last night with a fever and chills, temp 102.3.

Anyone else had this to happen to them? Im so sorry Try to get as much rest and fluids in as possible right now. Wrap your self up warm so you can sweat out your fever, and just sleep. I know easier said than done but its the best thing you can do for yourself right now. My surgery is set for Thursday and it may end up being delayed too if i cant get this stupid blood sugar down fast enough.. but im working on it!! Valentina is right.. what will be will be. I know its hard, I am scared of mine being pushed back too... but in the end the most important thing is your health and you will get your sleeve!!! Praying for you .. get well!!!

wondering1 103 Posted June 5, 2011 BlkMikeG, I don't know where you are located but my doctor has cancellations each week due to insurance companies changing their requirements or patients changing their minds. Perhaps your doc has a waiting list for cancellations? This would be quicker than waiting several months for him/her to reschedule. I would definately check. Good luck anyway.

Meandmylittledog 0 Posted June 6, 2011 BlkMikeG, I'm sorry you're having to go through this. It's so hard when you've done everything you can do and then something like this happens. Like everyone else said, rest, drink plenty of fluids and hopefully you'll be well tomorrow. If not, I too work for a doctor's office and there are cancellations all the time. Not to worry...it will work out and you will have your sleeve. Best of luck and feel better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infernored 5 Posted June 6, 2011 I had my surgery cancelled at first. I was devastated. I was pretty sick with a bad cold and I pretended everything was ok. I'm glad that they cancelled it now because when I went home my coughing got alot worse and I felt bad for a whole week after. I cried and worried all the time after too. But they will try to get you rescheduled right away. Especially if you have insurance covering it. Insurance coverage is usually issued and valid for a month past the date it was approved for. The doctors don't want any trouble from insurance people either! Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
