Looking for comforting words

[jennjarrid 14]

Hi I hope everyone is in good health today. My surgery was scheduled for tomorrow morning but had to be rescheduled to July 17th. I'm feeling really disappointed and I know I have no choice but to wait. I'm trying my best to accept that I have to wait about 3 weeks and feel content that I'm still getting the surgery. I know if anyone can relate to what I'm feeling it would be my fellow sleevers. Please share some words of wisdom. Thank you in advance.

I don't have any advice but just wanted to say so sorry. I know that is disappointing. I can only imagine how I would react to that! HUGS!

I had to postpone 6 weeks because insurance didn't approve me in time to do pre-op prep and surgery in time for my Spring Break. The time will go quickly and will still be the right time for you! Hang in there!

Oh wow can I relate after months of a special diet a million appts and tests etc etc finally I was approved for surgery and then told I'd have to wait ten weeks as the surgeon was going on vacation lol I screamed I was like for ten freakin weeks? now I know why this procedure costs so much clearly I need to go to medical school .... after my meltdown I got on the schedule and calmed the hell down that day I can tell u I wished I still smoked then the day of my surgery came finally I get there for all the crap you gotta do and the surgeon comes in three hours later after I had been there since 530 am and said there was a mistake and my surgery wasn't going to happen that day honey I was like well prepare for an autopsy ... Yours... Omg I was freakin pissed turns out the staff entered incorrect info into my file it was like a shit show from beginning to end with one thing and another during this whole process I started to wonder if they just screw with you because they can

Thank you for sharing. I guess it could be worse! I should feel grateful that I'm still having the surgery.

Shellyd88...I'm so sorry hear about your experience!

I got through it it wasn't fun and really aggravating at times but I wanted to do this so I had to suck it up and get thru it no choice really I hope I didn't discourage you

ShellyD88, That sux. I am so sorry to hear that. Have you been rescheduled yet?

[shellyd88 463]

Hi yes I'm sorry I guess I must not have been clear I have had my sleeve in late February it turned out someone on the staff put incorrect info In my file as far meds I told them it was wrong and they could call my pharmacy and check that I had the right RX and blood test me so it turned out ok thank god cuz I was sure at my limit with patience and had no good humor left by then after months of tests and delays and u send records over and they deny relieving them etc was just a long process and very stressful I sure hope others have easier times

So sorry that has happened to you. I can imagine that being difficult news with all of the preparation and anticipation. I thought mine was going to be postponed and they ended up being able to squeeze me in that evening. So I have some idea of that feelings you are feeling!

Hang in there! It will be here soon and you will be on your way!
