Almost cancelled for tomorrow

Yes I was almost cancelled for my lapband tomorrow. My surgeons office called to say my cardiac clearance was over a year old. Could I get it updated? The day before surgery, they were not kidding. I was upset because it was not mentioned until now. Shouldn't there have been a check before? Anyway after stressing, almost crying and a total breakdown, I found out they were trying to get in touch with the anestheiologist to see if I could get an okay. After waiting for hours (okay it was only 1 1/2 hours but it seemed like days) I got the thumbs up and will be there bright and early 8am tomorrow. Needless to say I am overjoyed and can't wait to be on the other side. Joy

I'm glad they are going to work with you on that and allowing you the surgery!! Congrats and can't wait to hear all your updates Good luck tomorrow!

Rebekkah thanks I am also relieved, see you on the other side. Joy

I know how you feel. I was originally scheduled for 1-12-07 and they called about 20 hours before surgery and said "sorry, the Dr. has had an emergency and were cancelling your surgery..." What?? You must be kidding. After freaking out and being up in the air for over a week, I am now going in tomorrow.. so it looks like we will both be joining the losing side. Congrats to you and i'm glad it all worked out. Thanks, Danielle

Danielle, Thanks for the support, you can relate I'll see you on the other side. Hope you have a speedy and painfree recovery. Joy
