Where in Jersey are you? I'm in the northeast and I know they are talking 1-2 feet .

I am in Middlesex County, right in the middle of the state.....under a blizzard warning with 12-24 inches possible.

I've been so oblivious to this because I don't like watching the news I guess I'm going to have to watch the news tonight to figure this out because ugh snow

[wannaBthinsoon 1,634]

Hope they're wrong, and you just get a little. Maybe it'll all blow out to sea

[Jersrose43 837]

Well the hospital must stay open. Hospitals don't close. So that's not the issue.

Id be more concerned on surgeon and anesthesiologist.

How far are they traveling to the hospital? They may postpone you but can't see it being more than a day or two. Call first thing in the morning

[Jersrose43 837]

Btw am jn bergen county. Currently expecting 24 or more!

Schools already called a half day.

Snow to start 9 am

I'm keeping my kids hkme

My surgery has officially been postponed by the storm. I am very emotional. The surgeon called and said we had to reschedule (at the earliest) Friday. Probably next week. She said I could be less strict on the pre-op until then because I'd done so well. I'd rather just be sleeved.

[BloomingLotus 179]

Sorry to hear it @@greatestnameever hopefully you'll be rescheduled sooner rather than later. We've waited so long, that even a little longer seems brutal. Wishing you the best

I was supposed to have my surgery Tuesday morning, I spoke to my surgeon today and it will most likely be postponed till Thursday. My procedure was at a surgical center and not a hospital so I an sure that plays a part. He was worried about roads, the parking lot, and possible power outages. I'm trying not to stress out get to bummed out it is only two extra days.... good luck to you

[kyrickchick64 468]

I'm sorry you guys. It's only a delay. You got this. Most of you have waited this long a couple days will be a snap.

[Engteacher 158]

I'm so sorry that your surgery has been postponed. I know you've had this date circled on your calendar for weeks, now. Just trust that delayed isn't the same as cancelled and this curve ball that Mother Nature has thrown is just the last event in the saga that leads you back to good health and a new life.

Patience. Peace. Hope. Faith.

Good luck guys.

What hospital?

Mine just called to confirm arrival time but waiting in surgeon call back. If we have three feet doubt it will haven which is so upsetting after 13 days of liquids!!!!

@@greatestnameever - I'm truly sorry for you and others having your surgeries postponed due to the storm. I realize how frustrating it must be to be prepared for a certain date and then have that changed.

[ProudGrammy 8,322]

flight was cancelled - storm and my connection was through there. hopped in my truck, started driving

Talk about stressful, where there's a will, there's a way.

@@Kindle

you win the prize so far for worst weather/surgery story

sounds like you didn't panic

thought about your options

and the Smarty Pants you are

you figured out what to do

i don't do well with stress

i would have totally freaked!!!

screaming running in circles

worried hospital or surgeon may cancel.

@@Samantha&Sunshine

your fears are understandable

going to the hospital early, what a smartie are you??

surgeon, other staff also should/will be prepared for the snow storm

doesn't help to expect the worst

hopefully things will work out tomorrow

but IF you must postpone ..............

GET OVER IT

surgery will happen

you've waited a long time to get the sleeve

a few more days won't kill you (I don't think they will )

fingers, toes crossed

good luck bud
