They cancelled my surgery



Recommended Posts

Well i got up and took my shower with the soap they gave me and my wife and i was at st.francis hospital at 5:30 am!! We went to the 3rd floor to check in and the lady could not find my name on the list so she checked in the surgeons file and found where my surgery had been cancelled because my live enzymes were very high

So now i have to go to another GI doctor and get clearance then reschedule im so disappointed i just want to die!!!!!!

That would be disappointing. Did you follow the prepop diet that the DR gave you?

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry. Hope the clearance comes through quickly. My first surgery date was canceled when I was 1/2 way through the pre-diet because they wanted some more heart tests done. It is so disappointing when you've got your mind/spirit all geared up. Morning-of really bites.

That is SO frustrating and upsetting! You are so close, and you can do this! I promise. It's a minor set back, the universe telling you that it's not the exact time. You're still on the road there, just a slight Detour. Some traffic. You got this, and when you get your clearance you're gonna ROCK it!

By any chance are you in Virginia? I know it's unlikely, but we have a St. Francis bariatric hospital here. :)

And this too shall pass. You will get through this with the determination you used to stick to the pre-op diet!!

Sorry, I know in the beginning you were having trouble staying on your pre op diet. I didn’t know if that had something to do with it

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
