Im starting to think im just being put off. Very discouraged. Have worked at this almost five years now.

Why was it canceled?

[slinkielovin 58]

First was because white blood cell count was high but had already been signed off by my reg. Dr that my cell count normally runs high, then they cancelled cause my lungs were clear but I had a scratchy throat then they cancelled cause my bmi was to high but they have never told me that my bmi had to be at a certain number to have the operation. Each time an eight hour drive for me. Such a waste of money.

So sorry! And all that driving. Can your regular doctor intervene to find out what is going on or connect you with another surgeon? The after-care is so important with the band, that relationship and regular followup visits. Best wishes - keep us posted!

Im trying to connect with new surgeons I think... I cent handle the stress this other place is bringing me.

[Bandista 7,466]

Well it was good to find that out up front (however frustrating!) as you really want some one to work with down the line for fills, etc. Some one you like and a place that gets the after-care piece and will be there for you.

I feel bad for your delays and issues, but it's always better to be safe than sorry. What is for you, you will get and at the appointed time. Try not to allow discouragement to hold or keep you back, you want it? Will it in your mind first.
