LMolina1987 75 Posted September 21, 2015 Well my surgery has been Prosponed do to an infection I have in my tooth. ???? I busted ny behind for six months for what? To end up having tooth pain two days before surgery!!!!. Like my family says I'm leaving it in gods hands there must be a reason for this to come along two days before surgery. Was looking toward for this new chapter. ???? Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*Lexie* 1,486 Posted September 21, 2015 Postponed is not the same as never going to happen. You busted your behind for what, you ask? For your health. To change your life. You don't lose that progress just because your surgery is delayed. Try to stay positive, soon you'll be on the other side. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mom26 313 Posted September 21, 2015 I too was scheduled for this week and postponed. It's frustrating but I truly believe that you'll heal better if you're healthy. I'm assuming they put you on an antibiotic for your tooth? Will your surgeon reschedule now for 2-3 weeks away? The found I have ulcers in my throat and stomach so I'm on meds for 4 weeks and then another endoscopy before they'll operate. You'll drive yourself nuts if you dwell on the delay. In a year, it won't matter. Just stick to your doctor's diet and you'll be ready for surgery in no time! And hopefully I'll be right after! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alejcerra 12 Posted September 21, 2015 That's unfortunate, but you busted your butt to get you where you're going. Just because it isn't happening tomorrow, doesn't mean it isn't ever happening. Keep on track with what you have been doing its all worth it, get use to those habits now so you won't have a hard transition. You got this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbrookmedic 11 Posted September 21, 2015 A tooth infection can be very dangerous. Even cause death. I have seen it in the ER. So 10 days of antibiotics. Then a dentist to fix it and you will be back on track! Trust me you don't want to mess with a infected tooth! Keep your head up! They did the best thing for you. You got this!

_Kate_ 2,224 Posted September 21, 2015 Keep 'busting' your behind until you get your date. It’s certainly not wasted, being delayed isn't being denied although I can fully understand your disappointment. Keep focusing on the big prize!! Best of luck and hope you feel better soon.

Ilovecats1985 100 Posted September 21, 2015 I understand how you're feeling. I started this journey back in March. I'm scheduled for surgery a month from today. However, last week I started having issues with my heart racing and irregular heart beats. I go on Thursday for my echocardiogram and to get my holter monitor. I will meet with my surgeon on the 29th to discuss my results and if surgery needs to be postponed. I know I need to go into surgery healthy but the thought of having to wait longer is very disappointing. Hang in there. It will happen when the time is right. Hope all goes well at the dentist.
