WLS cancelled, more info
I learned on Friday that my WLS (5/29) had to be cancelled due to the results of some testing that was done during my pre-op exam. Got the call Fri just before noon, talked to my doc's nurse who said I had to come in for a endometrial biopsy b/c the ultrasound showed thickening in the lining of my uterus. Doc had me do the ultra sound when he learned that I was spotting recently. I'm post menopausal, so, I guess that was not supposed to be happening. The pelivic US was OK but I got nervous when the tech said I had to have a vaginal US, as well. When I got in later Fri pm for the biopsy my doc said that my liver enzymes were elevated, too and he wanted another US. The biopsy was relatively painless and he said he got a good sample, but I cried a little during the procedure. Frustration, dissapointment. Results should be in on Tues, the day I was supposed to have the RNY. The US was to measure my liver and look at other organs (and, probablly to look for gall stones...read on line that is usuallly done with an upper GI US. Kinda painful in spots, probably b/c the tech had to push pretty hard in spots. So, Sat. I felt a little better, yesterday felt more depressed. Today, well, I know I should learn something tomorrow... Anyway, here I sit, waiting. I was told the WLS wouldn't happen this week but I'm still taking tomorrow off. It was hard to decide to eat (was on my 11th day of liquid pre-surg diet when I learned the surgery was cancelled. I thought maybe if I keep it up, it would help to schedule the surgery sooner. However, my doc said we have to find out what's going on before he would pass me for WLS. I guess thats for the best. I'm hopeful that nothing is seriously wrong, eg. endometrial cancer or liver problems. I was so ready for the WLS that I can't event think about anything else. Sorry so long, had to vent!

-Jean, one of the things that I have been most thankful for is how through the pre-op exams were. I found out so much about my body and have a better understanding in what I can and can't control as far as making it healthier.
I understand your frustration, and hope that you will eventually be able to have the WLS. More than ever, I pray that what ever is going on is just part of the whole menopause thing, and nothing to be worried about. Keep us posted.

So sorry that your WLS was cancelled, but just know that you are in God's hands, and there's a reason for everything................ Hope you get some good news and can go forward with your surgery soon............. We all get anxious for this journey to begin, so no need to apologize!! That's the wonderful thing about OH...............we all share the same goal and share the frustrations, also!! And, you can always vent when you need that support!!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,

Pretty hard to focus with all the ?s running thru my mind. Take care, Jean Hope everything will be ok. Just have faith and everything will work itself out. I havent had my surgery yet either. it is so hard when you expect the surgery to happen then it doesnt. That happened to be april 24th. Only for different reasons. My hubby and DR. didnt see eye to eye so the DR. didnt do and never will do my surgery. I had to get another DR. but i am thankful now because i get to go to a DR. that is nice and has a good bedside manor. You will see that you will be happy soon too. keep you in my prayers. Huggs
