4 days before surgery and they cancel



Recommended Posts

Been in this liquid first the last two weeks, been mentally and physically preparing for this surgery and I get a call yesterday to cancel because my surgeon has some emergency clinic. Try to reschedule me for another two weeks out but I said fuck that. I won't do another 2 weeks out. I have my shifts all worked out to be covered I hate this fucking diet and they think it's just a simple reschedule. I may loose my job because of this now and I've definitely already lost my sanity. I feel so discouraged I'm begging the Dr to put me in this week.

Wow. I am so sorry to hear that. I hope and pray you get a call saying that you can come in and that they have your doctor other location covered. Just try to be positive but I do understand your frustration and know it's hard to be positive during times like this. Praying for you [emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?

I know you are frustrated, but this may be showing some issues that may arise after surgery if you are slow to get your energy back or have complications. Definitely come up with some contingency plans!

Oh gosh... prayers sent for a quick solution. That's horrible! I know that I couldn't just reschedule at the drop of a dime... don't they have a back up Dr who can step in?

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
