surgery cancelled! ugh

[Emilysmom 41]

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.

So sorry! Anyway they will do another UA and schedule right away? Call and be forceful and explain things

[Emilysmom 41]

I was too upset to argue but yes I just have to redo the UA...it just stinks. I was mentally prepared and now I'm not

[Reni 9]

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

How disappointing

[ProudGrammy 8,322]

cancelled. spent a ton of money

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

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

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

speedy recovery

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

[MaddieJ 82]

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!

For gosh sake, have they never heard of a freaking period before? I'd be going postal.

[Emilysmom 41]

I cried like a big ole baby lol I'm just numb now...and second guessing everything, which is the worst part. Thanks you guys.. we shall see what happens in July xo

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?
