Surgery postponed

[Chiptress 327]

Was supposed to have my surgery 3 days from now on Monday 8/12/19. Found out this morning that my TSH thyroid levels are 4.5 so my insurance is asking for additional info & follow up from my PCP. At 1st I was upset but now I feel a little relieved. My pre-op hasn’t been going as restrictive as I’d like & I can do better. Might as well be as healthy going into this as possible. Rescheduled 1 week for 8/19/19

I'm sorry for the postponement. ((hugs)) But yay on getting this taken care of now!!! Get on your new meds it may help with hunger/insulin resistance and energy to help you really apply yourself on the pre-op liquid phase.

It's always best to have everything in the best shape when you undergo surgery, so be glad your doctor cares enough to make sure your levels are appropriate before putting you under. Good luck.

So sorry it was postponed Chiptress , but you know, it was probably meant to be , and you’ll feel happier that you’ve got more time to do the ore-op , and you don’t have to worry that you could have done better .Mine was postponed because it was too hot to operate safely and I was really disappointed, but then I was pleased they were being cautious . Shows I’m in good hand . Mine is on12 th of August now. I wish you all the very best for the 19th. I’ll be thinking of you !

I’m so sorry your were postponed. I know the feeling. My surgery was originally for the 19th. The next available date would have been sometime in September. But I ended up getting in on cancelled appointment on the 7th. I’m on the bench now. They don’t have scales here in the room. But I feel lighter already. But that be from the non-stop nausea. I’m still in the hospital until the throwing up stops.

I'm glad you are feeling some relief with this .... although would guess it's mixed emotions after the build up and now wait. Hope everything goes well now so you can have your surgery on the new date planned
