Well, I was suppose to have surgery on Monday but it's not going to happen now My MD received my pre-op results on Thursday & there is something wrong w/the bloodwork (nothing serious). My Dad who had an appt @ the MD today was told this info & to have me call them. Instead I went there (I had a nail appt & they are in the same complex) When I got there, I was told by the front desk woman that everything was fine, I was cleared & she would refax my clearnace. I then gave this info to my surgeons office & went about my day. At 4pm, my surgeons office called to say they still did not have clearnace. So, I called the MD..this time I was told that there was something wrong w/the bloodwork. By now, my blood was boiling & I was in tears, mainly b/c i was there early enough in the day to have fixed this prob and was given the wrong info. So, I have to reschedule my surgery. The surgeons office told me I could most likely have it Wednesday the 13th. However, instead of running around like a mad woman & having another "freak out" on Tuesday if Wednesday doesnt happen, I decided to have it on Nov 3rd. I'm in a wedding on Halloween & instead of not enjoying the food & dancing..I figured everything happens for a reason & I should take my time & enjoy the wedding as my last horrah w/food..lol! So, this is my update. Of course, I was very upset @ 4:30pm today when all this happened (lol..i had just purchased my enema too...lol) but now, I'm fine & realized this was suppose to happen for whatever reason. I chose to think it's b/c I'm suppose to have a great time @ the wedding & then have surgery!!! Oh no, I wont be a Thin Ten anymore, I'll be a November chic..lol! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYNE!

Like you said, everything happens for a reason, and I'm glad you were able to find the positive in this (small) setback. I wish you the best of luck and come back and visit us ... Once a Thin Ten, always a Thin Ten... ~Toni

Hi Amie, I would just like to tell you that I am so proud of you. You were upset for a bit, but you realized that it wasn't worth it to do that to yourself and you began to look at it from another angle. It is a rough thing, I worry that my pre-tests will cause my surgery to be postponed but you have helped me to realize that I shouldn't worry what happens was meant to be! I hope you do have a wonderful time at that wedding, and dance one for me! Good luck with everything and have a great day! -Amber

Amie, It is always better to look for the positive than dwell on the negative... Good luck with everything. Cindy

Hi Amie. Sorry to hear your surgery was cancelled, but you have the right outlook - things happen for a reason! You'll get there, it'll just be a few weeks later. Best wishes to you and hang in there - it will all work out!
