Hi all October's I am now one of you I got kicked out of September.I hope you all have room here for me .Well to say I am bummed is an understatement. My surgery had been postponed until October 24( It was September 23).The Doctor is unable to start up the robotics department and I was one of the first robotic patient. I cried my eyes out. I know it's only a month but I am so ready I have been doing the pre op diet and everything. On the bright side I am first on the cancellation list and Dr.Gavin is now enforcing a strict go gain policy. If you gain even a pound your surgery is canceled. So I guess according to Robin his receptionist there have been a few cancellations since this went into effect. They offered me next Thursday and I jumped on it even thought it would have meant canceling a vacation that has been planned since January. I threw out my back this past Sunday and have been on vicodin and salalate for pain. The two drugs are really hard on your stomach and cause pitting in the lining. My dear husband made me call and tell them about my back and meds and no surgery. I know God has a reason for everything. But boy am I bummed. They also want me to stay on the pre- surgical diet in case of a cancel. I even said I would stop all meds (I was at the chiropractor when they call because the meds are not working anyways).But they want me to be very mobile so I can get up and around after surgery. Now all I can do is hope for another cancellation for when I get back from Vacation.

Yes Dawn - welcome to October!!! I remember reading your post when you got approved!!! I'll bet you will get moved up, that seems to happen a lot! I wouldn't mind getting moved up - but my youngest daughter's 15th birthday is Oct 9th and her grandmother is giving her a big party, so the 14th actually is best! By the way, I was born in Lackawanna and grew up in Hamburg!!! The family moved to Fla when I was ten but a special little part of my heart will always be in Western NY!!! (Go Bills!!!! Go Sabres!!!!!) I hope your back feels better! Enjoy your vacation and keep us posted!! Carol
