surgery cancelled! ugh



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I was due to be sleeved...an hour ago I received a call that said my lab work came back with blood in my urine...I had my period when urine was taken & told them ahead of time..thinking I may have an infection, they cancelled. To come this far and be told "sorry" is devastating! I am about to curl up in a ball and cry! I had prepared so much for this, spent a ton of money and now I am in limbo...so upsetting!

I would think you could just redo the urine test, couldn't you? Seems like a silly thing to hold up surgery when you told them you had your period. I hope it all works out for you and that it isn't postponed too long.

I am so sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you can take another UA ASAP and have the surgery rescheduled quickly.

Emilysmom

so sorry you are dealing with this :(

handing you a box of tissues, can you reach them???? ;)

you'll have the test again, everything will show that things are fine :)

that doesn't help your situation though :angry:

did you have a ticket to Mexico (u spent a lot of money??)

now you need to re book a flight???

if thats the case

OMG - how horrible :angry:

in your case, i don't think things can get any worse

there will be a happy ending soon

while the beginning of your new healthier, happier, longer life begins into sleeveland :)

take care

good luck

Thanks everyone! My insurance covers it but I have a high deducible plan so I've spent $1200 already plus $250 in mental health (which isn't covered) plus I took a weeks vacation for this and now I lose it. So upsetting ..all because there was blood in my urine..from my period. REALLY!? Ughhhhh

Omg.... I'm speechless.... that's horrible! I'm so sorry and I agree you need to be a squeaky wheel and complain tomorrow. They could re-run the UA prior to your surgery- on the same day! Good luck!

Hmmm that makes me worried because I am scheduled for Monday. Had my lab work done Wednesday last week but I know I've had blood in my urine since I was 11. How long did it take between your labs and the phone call?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
