Got Into Operating Room & Surgery Cancelled

[Artichokes 42]

Well, folks, looks like it's not gonna happen for me today. They wheeled me into the operating room and, right before they gave me anesthesia, I went into atrial fillbralation, which is still going on. We are waiting for the cardiologist. From what I understand, it was good they saw it, as anesthetic would have put my heart under more stress, maybe leading to a stroke. So, there's my silver lining, though I am disappointed and, until I know more about it, a little anxious. My sister, the nurse, is with me & my niece, another nurse, says she knows alot about it.

So sorry to hear you didn't have your surgery. However, thank God they discovered your A Fib when they did as something worse could have happened to you. You will have your VSG surgery soon enough. Take care!

Grateful for the timing. Wishing you WELL, dear.

So sorry about the problem, but thrilled it was discovered before you were into surgery! Good luck!! This isn't your day for surgery, but it will happen soon, I know!

[Thinner Peace 24]

Wow, how did they find that? A coincidence? You are a lucky girl. Keep us updated as we keep you in our prayers!

Sending you hugs, my thoughts and prayers and thanks for blessings that it was caught before the surgery. I know you are disappointed but I think you are handling this very well. It's a good thing this was caught and I will keep you in my prayers.

So, I was put on a beta blocker to get the a fib under control, then my surgeon resigned and is not going to reschedule me. I am beyond astonished. They told his other patients the day I was running around, trying to get the echo cardiogram he said he needed to see before rescheduling, and I'm now afraid they will have taken all the available slots. I am so unsettled and unhappy.

[MinaT 669]

I am so sorry. Are you still in the hospital?

I know the disappointment has to be so intense right now. Did a cardiologist say anything to you yet?

Since you have been in this program, once you get cleared by a cardiologist, he would not reconsider?

My prayers are with you that you stay strong.

Hi MinaT, Thanks for your good wishes. I went home from the hospital the day of the surgery. The cadiologist said I am fine for surgery. The surgeon will not reschedule me. I don't know why, but it was firm. I'm thinking contractual issues. I'm also curious about whether my situation caused the resignation. The timing is so weird. I am discouraged and unsettled. It's a beautiful summer, yet I can't enjoy it because I don't know what's up or down.

I am so sorry for your troubles! You're in my prayers. Is it possible to go to another dr? I know you must be very frustrated and disappointed! I hope everything works out well! Keep your head up. Things usually have a way of working out... Sometimes its not how we think it should be, or how we expect it to be... but they do work out! Well wishes coming your way!

Oh my! I'm praying everything is okay with you. Definitely find out first if your heart is doing fine. Your Sleeve can happen any time. *hugs*
