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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
