Emilysmom 41 Posted June 24, 2013 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! 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GBFree82 75 Posted June 24, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted June 24, 2013 So sorry! Anyway they will do another UA and schedule right away? Call and be forceful and explain things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emilysmom 41 Posted June 24, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reni 9 Posted June 24, 2013 I am so sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you can take another UA ASAP and have the surgery rescheduled quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted June 24, 2013 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 kathy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emilysmom 41 Posted June 24, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaddieJ 82 Posted June 25, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted June 25, 2013 For gosh sake, have they never heard of a freaking period before? I'd be going postal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

couger94 19 Posted June 25, 2013 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
