Tomorrow's Breast surgery cancelled



Recommended Posts

I am not very happy :57_cry: about this last minute news I just got at 4 pm today. My tomorrow 7:30 am Breast reduction and FNG schedule has been cancelled. Now I have to schedule a Breast biopsy instead. They are saying I have a lump in my right breast. I am sure it is a fatty cyst but they will not do the surgery until the biopsy is done and comes back stating it is a cyst. I have had these cyst many times over the course of my 61 years and now that I am less than 24 hours before surgery they want to do a biopsy. Doesn't make sense to me. I had to do a lot of things to prepare for this including get substitute teachers and make up weeks of lessons plans, reports etc not to mention all the medical supplies and house cleaning and food prep etc and now it is not happening tomorrow.

So sorry for you. I can only imagine how upset you are right now. Hopefully knowing that the doctors have put your health as a priority makes it slightly if at all better. Stay positive and good will come your way!!!

Ugh, what a total pile of hosresh*t. I understand why they did it, but still. Here is wishing you luck with a speedy turnaround for the biopsy so you can get the reduction and be the you that you deserve!

It seems that between the insurance company and the Doctors involved no body was getting any of the information straight as to whether I needed approval and which doctor I was to go to see. So tomorrow is a consultation with a breast surgeon to look over my test results and see what he is going to do. I have to be there at 8 am. Hopefully after this consultation a date will be set for this biopsy. Come the 20th it will have been a month since my breast lift was canceled.

I have an update for my friends who are interested in knowing what has been going on. I had the consultation and was sent with all my mammograms and ultra sounds to the breast institute, filled out the paperwork. One week later they finally gave me a date for my breast biopsy. May 8th. It will be 8 weeks since I first found out there was a problem and my surgery was canceled. Can hardly wait for May 8th to get here and to find out if there is anything to be concerned about. Then do what needs to be done and get a rescheduled date to get these huge boobs taken off. I spent the last few days taking in the cups and sides of the last bra I bought. It was way too big now and the new B-C cup bras I bought for after the surgery will not fit. Some days were very difficult. Last week I tried to get an appointment with my mental health counselor. I can't see her until May 3rd. I hope she can help me deal with my stress and depression as a result of all that has been going on during the last month.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
