Dissapointing Reschedule



Recommended Posts

So I was all scheduled to be sleeved on 7/14. This morning I get a call from my surgeons office telling me that they scheduled to many surgeries on 7/14 and I needed to be rescheduled to 7/21. Who picked the name that got rescheduled and why was it mine? I had already had everything straight with my job, as far as the time I am taking off and gotten the kids situated away for a few recovery days. UUUGGGHHHH!!!!

Well now the issue comes in that my job is most intense at the beginning and end of the month. I would really be trying to rush my recovery to get back to work by 7/28. My husband told me to just move the time and allow my job to figure out the coverage. Makes sense but I would hate to leave them hanging. The scheduling coordinator told me that whichever date I chose she would make sure I was first on that date. I called her back and scheduled for the 21st. My boss was supportive of the change he told me not to worry and he thinks I am having my gall bladder removed bc one of my co-workers asked me why I was taking time off in front of my boss. I got uncomfortable and that was my response... I know smh!!

Thanks for listening/reading!

Awe, man! That sucks! I'm sorry that you had to reschedule and push things back a week, but it's awesome that your boss is understanding of the change. And I'm using the same excuse as you--gall bladder surgery.

Good luck. And nosy co-workers much? Sheesh! Whenever someone gets all up in your business like that I like to use female issues if the person is a man or intestinal issues as an excuse because no one wants to know about your bowel issues and dudes freak out over period problems.

I had the opposite issue you did - my surgeon's office called me and wanted to move my surgery up from 5/5 to 4/30. 4/30 is my wedding anniversary so I politely declined. I think that no one was scheduled for that day at all. As it was I was first on the docket for 5/5!

It's great to have an understanding boss but the real schedule still has me a bit down. Thanks for your post.

The worst thing about this was, today we went for pre op group where we all got together with nutritionist and nurse from hospital. So a man walked in they scheduled him for a gastric bypass on 7/14 my original date with MY surgeon. I was so upset. Then they said the scheduler for my doctor was not there so there was no one for e to speak to :(.

Anyhow, I guess I will use this time to gather my thoughts and focus on pre op diet.

Thanks for all the support.

      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
