Today I started the day incredibly nervous and now I'm looking forward to it. See you on the other side.

I know how you feel. I was 10/2, 10/9 and now 10/11. The hospital bumps elective surgery by priority surgeries. I am okay with it, once I got approved I am so much more relaxed about it. Now, if they continue postponing then that may be a different story because I don't want it done near any holidays. It's bad enough that is now a week before my vacation. But this comes first so I'll just have to relax more on vaca than planned. Good Luck and hopefully this will be your last change!

I was scheduled 9/25 and got bumped to 10/2. Then the nurse told me it may have to be 10/9 and I LOST IT in the office. I see you are going to Dr. Carter as well... I know he was out of the office the week of 9/25 for "personal reasons" so he may be having a hard time getting caught up. When he came in to see me before surgery he had a neck brace on! He said he'd had a minor neck surgery, must have been those "personal reasons"!

One my surgery day was nailed down the time changed 3 times... 2:45 then 1:00 then 10:45. The day of, at about 10:00, the anesthesiologist (I know I spelled that totally wrong!) came in and said they were running late because he had overslept! So my 10:45 became 12:00. All in all I was home by 5pm.

You have the right attitude about it...keep your chin up!!

Hi MistyDTX,

Well at least i know what to look foward to, thx. I went for my pre-op on thurs the 4th, wow, i didnt expect so many people in the waiting room,Dr. Carter had a band aid on his neck on thurs i was wondering what that was for, now i know. How r u progressing? i hope your pain has subsided( i can't spell either LOL,LOL) have you weighed yourself yet? Well thanks for the info,keep in touch

My pain is a LOT better now! I didn't take any pain meds today at all. I haven't had pain from my incisions, just that gas. I've been using a heating pad and walking for that. If you can find one, get a ice bag for your incisions post-op. I have looked at Walmart, Target and Walgreens and wasn't able to find an actual ice bag so I've been using Ziplocks! They work but eventually leak! LOL!

I have lost 3.5 lbs since Tuesday AM when I weighed. They didn't weigh me at the hospital so I am just going by my scale at home.

If you have any other questions let me know! PM me or just post and I'll find ya!

I just found out I was rescheduled from the 17th to the 16th. At least it wasnt later I guess. They said my insurance wouldn't cover it at the original location and that I needed to go to another day surgery center...OK, I guess...
