Surgery postponed..have to go to May forum

Hi Everyone, I was supposed to have my surgery this coming Monday, but got a call yesterday that it has been postponed to the following Monday--May 1st. Apparently my surgeon had a family emergency & has had to leave town for a few days. At first I was so bummed out, but then I realized that it's only a 1 week difference so it's not the end of the world. Well, good luck to all that will be having their surgery this month, I guess I'll be going to the May surgery date forum. Take care & thanks for listening. Andrea

I hope all is well with your surgeon's family emergency.....good luck to you, we'll save you room on the bench. Ruth Ann

Hi Ruth Ann, Thanks for the message. Glad to see you made it home safe & sound. Hope all's well. Andrea

Hi Andrea, Sorry to hear about your disappointment. Having had my surgery postponed for 3 weeks due to coming down with Strep Throat, I know it is disappointing. But your big day will still be here very soon! Stay positive. You will be on your way to a new life very soon! Heidi L-S

Hi Heidi, Thanks for the encouragement. I'm ok now--just had to have a little pity party!! Things could be worse. Take Care, Andrea

Hi Lesley, Thank you for the prayers, there is nothing better than that! I am glad the secret pal gifts made it to you safely. I made a commitment and wanted to keep up my end of the bargin! My daughter, Gracie, is doing well. She developed a complication (protein overload) mid week. This resulted in the feeding tube being removed! YEAH! We had her back to the dr. yesterday and had more blood work done. She is moving in the right direction as far a recovering from the protein overdose. . For now (and hopefully forever) the feeding tube is gone! She is happy and acting normal. We just have to get her GI and weight situation back on track. We go to the pediatrician on Thursday and to a GI & feeding specialist on Friday. We have a standing appointment with the pediatrician every week, he is tracking her like a hawk. Thank you for offering to be her secret pal, that is very kind and generous of you. Her name is Gracie Irene and our address is 10303 Lark Rdg. Houston, TX 77070. I don't have a PO box, so don't try to figure me out just yet! She is 19 months old and loves everything. She has a very joyful and happy spirit. Today I bought her a little purple purse that has Angel written on it. She carried it around so cute. I put a few pictures of her on this fake profile if you would like to look at them. How are you doing with your weight loss? How is the whole WLS prosess going for you. Things are going well for me, I am down 62 pounds. The WLS process is good. I have days but who doesn't. I will visit with my surgeon next week for my 3 month follow up. I am anxious to see where my labs are. God bless, Your pal

Sorry you've had a set back, but it will still be here before you know it, just use the extra time to get last minute things done, and pamper yourself. Best of luck to you! Hugs to you Perry W.

Thanks Perry, I feel a lot better today--some times you just have to have a little pity party, then when it's over you realize it's not the end of the world!! I know 8 days will go by quickly. Hugs to you as well, Andrea

Hey Andrea One week is not so bad, just consider it a blessing. Use the time to continue preparing. Stock up on post-op items and enjoy. I know the waiting is the worst. Mine is coming up and I just want to get it done and over with. Goodluck and I will be saying a prayer for everything to go well for you. Applebluue

Applebluue, Thanks for the encouraging words. I will be thinking of you on Thursday--hope all goes smoothly and you are home and comfortable in no time. Hugs, Andrea
