Hi Donna, ((((((((HUGS))))))))) I'm hearing you Hon, same thing happened to me, just a little different. At my pre-op they ordered an EKG, had that, someone reading it thought there was an abnormality, had to have a heart cath. Long story short, cath comes back perfect, nothing wrong with the heart. Get this, I have this test for clearance for the surgery, and in the 7 days total it took to get the appoinment with cardiology, the cath done and the results, the 'power that be' in the WLS department couldn't wait the 7 days and bumped me!!! My new date is May 11, can you believe this. So I can so appreciate how you are feeling. I don't know what to say because I am still mad, disappointed, discouraged, myself. But I am finding comfort staying in prayer and praying for all the Marchers. And everytime someone posts that another one got to the other side, it really lifts my spirits. If you want to e-mail me and we can talk more about it. I will be praying for you. Love and Peace, Betty

Once a Marcher always a Marcher. I am so sorry this happened to the both of you. ((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))) Sugarplum

I feel for you, that exact same thing happened to me a week ago they changed my date from March 19 to the 26, i was a mess. But got over it and now awaiting the 26........Michele

I'm crying with you Donna. I know how excited I am and how upset I will be if it happens to me. I will keep you in my prayers. Everything happens for a reason, and we may not always know the reason, but we gotta just trust that God knows what He is doing. Vent all you need to us - that's what we are here for!! Love and Hugs!

Hi I am so very sorry that you both were re scheduled, I can onlt imagine the disapointment you are feeling but think positive everything happens for a reason! The important thing is it will still be DONE! ALWAYS remember Once a Marcher always a Marcher, so march on, it will be your date again before you know it, God Bless you both!!!

Go ahead and cry you will probably feel better It is so hard to be that close and have such a let down. I feel for you. Once a Marcher always a Marcher. Just think we will be experts by the time you go and we will be able to help you throught any problem or question you may have. I will keep you in my prayers Chief Nutkin ( Karen)

Donna I know how dissapointed you must feel. I was scheduled today and got bronchitis and was cancelled. I haven't even been given another date yet and my guess is that it will be about 2 months away. Since this was something I had no control over I had to just let it go. I believe everything happens for a reason. For some reason it wasn't meant to happen for you on that day. Perhaps the timing in April will end up being a better thing thing for you. I am trying to look at it that way. I will have more time to prepare and possibly get in better shape beforehand. I know it's a real bummer but have faith - it will happen!
