Yes, I am going to OHSU for my surgery. You'll be leaving as I am admitting. I'd love to talk, keep me updated and please let me know what happens when you come home, if and when you feel well enough to do so. :cool:

Topic: Not one of you anymore
I just wanted everyone to know that I am no longer a November re-birther 
. I went in for my labs and received a call from my surgeon's nurse 2 hours later. She said that my iron levels are too low for surgery. So my surgery has been postponed until January 14th, 14 days before my birthday. I have an appoointment to see a Hematologist on Friday to discuss treatment.
Thank you all for your support. I wish you all uneventful surgeries and uncomplicated recoveries. See you all on the losers' bench in January.

Wow Sally, with all that you have going on I'm not sure I'd be calm at all. I'd probably be close to a breakdown!! ;o) I think that what you're feeling is totally normal given the cir****tances. I'll add you and your family to my prayer list. Keep your head up.
I'm also not as excited as I thought I would be. I am excited but I'm also scared and anxious. My surgery date is Nov. 1st. Please add me to your friends list and let me know how things turn out.

Topic: Not as excited as I thought I'd be.
I'm a Nov. 6th surgery date for a RNY, but I believe my date will be changed. In the last two weeks I had a bladder infection (after antibiodics) I came down with a serious kidney infection and was in bed for 4 days. Between these two infections or the same infection my husband had a heart attach scare and was in the hospital for two days. One of my daughters is covered in hives and the other has allergies which are making her asthma terrible.(Today my first day out of bed I just feel very blah.) Tomorrow is my preop appointment and I feel pretty sure I'm going to be moved back for a surgery date.
I know the Lord never gives us more than we can handle, and I feel very calm. I just wish I felt like most of the posts, pretty optomistic. Anyone have any conflicting or blah emotions at this late date? I met my preop weight goal and being sick has helped me lose 5 more yeah!! I got to move the big slider on my scale today... hit 250. Shouldn't I be dancing on the ceiling?
