Discouraged

[carolyn5683 0]

I was supposed to have the surgery on the 19th of July. I went into the hospital and did all of the preop stuff. They took me into the surgery room, put me to sleep, and put the tube down my throat. But before the surgeon started, he noticed a small sore on my stomach that he said was infected. I also had some heart palpitations that he wants to check out. All I remember is hearing "She is not going to be happy when she wakes up". The surgeon chose not to do the surgery. Now I have to start all over with the pre-op diet and hope that this doesn't cause any problems with the insurance. If everything goes okay, I should be banded on the 9th of August. I am just very discouraged now. I should already be banded. Not having to start the pre-op diet again.

:help:

Don't be discouraged your dr was looking out for your best interest. I believe he have checked this before putting you under though. It will happen. Think positively it will happen and IT WILL HAPPEN!!! He was probably just concerned whatever it was on you stomach could cause worse problems later w/ your band. It could have caused a bigger infection internally or something. Good luck!!
