Huge Winter Storm Predicted Same Day As Sx



Recommended Posts

I'm trying not to freak out. But there is a huge winter storm predicted for Monday into Tuesday. And my surgery is scheduled for Tuesday morning! I know that I will get there. I live 20 minutes from the hospital and I'll leave an hour or more early to get there. But I am so worried that the hospital or the surgeon may cancel. I plan on calling my surgeon's office tomorrow just to see if they ever cancel due to inclement weather. And when the hospital calls me with my admission time I will ask them the same thing. I realize that it will not be the complete end of the world if it gets rescheduled, but I have already waited so long, have my heart completely set, I am finally truly ready and committed to weight loss. I have the days requested and approved to be off from my job, as do my boyfriend and mother. So not only would a cancelation be very upsetting, but myself and my family would have to try to get different days off and whatnot. By no means would I want anyone risking their life to get there! I am just wondering if anyone had heard of surgeries getting canceled due to snow?..

Thank you!

surgeries getting canceled due to snow?..

@@Samantha&Sunshine

wellllll if doc can't get to hospital......... :wacko:

hopefully that won't be the case

since storm predicted for tuesday, he should be prepared for the inevitable snow

he is a busy man with many surgeries planned for the day

I'm sure he'll do his darndest to get to the hospital

even if he can't drive through the snow

maybe he can rent a pair of skiis

a few snow huskies to get him to the hospital :D

i understand that mom and boyfriend and you have taken time off.............but their work should also understand your situation due to weather

please don't stress out (it can give you wrinkles :o :lol: )

good luck

Well thank you everyone for all of the well wishing! But unfortunately I got the call today that the hospital is canceling all of the surgeries tomorrow. So it wasn't even up to my doctor. I am rescheduled for next Tuesday now. One more grumpy week of pre op diet. In the long run I know it won't make a difference, but I kinda feel like stomping my feet.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
