MY HOPE died today

I had such hope after deciding to have this surgery.Today I had my long awaited consult and was rejected basicially because of my limited mobility due to cerebral palsy which is made worse by my weight.they said the risk of blood clots is great..I countered that remaining fat will kill me also.I HAD TWELVE MINUTES OFFICE TIME. I wrote a long letter about my mobility limitations.Why did they even call me in?

I am so sorry for your disappointment. I know your were looking forward to it. I have a friend that was turned down b/c of something. And she was on the waiting list at Emory. Try that I will call her tomorrow and get the number if you would like. Please don't give up your fight. So please email me if you need anything. Hugs, Heather

Don't give up, keep fighting for it. We believe in you. Tami

Don't give up Rosa, just go to a different doctor! Keep your faith strong, if it is meant to be it will happen.

Rosa, it's a tough situation for you right now and you have all the rights to be upset (I know I would be), BUT... please don't give up. Hope should never die. I understand it that your cir****tances are more challenging than most people with MO, but I'm sure there has to be some other Doctor that will be competent, kind, and brave enough to take your "case". Wishing you the best, hugs, Rita

Rosa, please don't give up, we will all pray for you and hope that you get the answer you want...If they are worried about blood clots, I thought that there was something they could put in you body to catch them...I'm sorry I don't know what it is called, but I am sure someone will know...don't give up, seek out another doctor....best of luck to you, Cheri

i just want to let y'all know that the doctor that I spoke with yesterday called me back this afternoon and asked if I wanted to come back in and actually talk to the surgeons.Maybe I should be jumping for joy but I don't think I will ever forget how indifferent they seemed. Thanks for your support and suggestions and compassion.
