surgery cancel Dr. sick:(



Recommended Posts

I have been on a liquid diet for 6 days and I was called tonight (2 days before my surgery) to notify me I will have to reschedule to the end of the month with a different Dr. Bc the one I chose is sick. I have already done preop tests, my parents, sister and boyfriend already took off. And plus I have taken off from work for medical leave already.I feel soooo discouraged :(

Oh that's terrible but things happen for a reason and purpose.

Don't get to down about this.

Things will work out for the best.

Maybe this surgeon wasn't to be the one to take care of you and to do your surgery.

It's still going to happen just a little later then planned.

You keep coming here for support and to talk as much as you want.

You take care of yourself.

Is that the only surgeon... is there a backup?

Sorry to hear. : (

My surgery was cancelled the night before because one of the surgeons wife went into labor. It was rescheduled again and I got sick 2 days before surgery. I finally had my surgery on my 3rd date. I wore a mask for a few days before surgery to help from getting sick.

      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.
