Countdown off! Surgery put on hold temporarily

Hi all, I have an update. It's good and bad news. I rec'd a call on my answering machine today from my PCP. He is pushing my surgery back because there was an abnormality in my blood draw, so, he wants to try and rectify that before surgery. I was told I would probably be able to reschedule my surgery for next week if all goes well. Hey, at least I lost 13 lbs. on my liquid diet..lol...really, I'm glad my PCP is taking these precautions to make sure I will be okay.

Betty, sorry to hear that your countdown is on hold but glad to hear you have a conscientious PCP. My fingers are crossed for quick resolution so that you can get that clock moving back down to the THE DAY! -Nan

Like you said...it is a bummer.....But it is always better to be safe than sorry!!! Your lucky you have such a good PCP that cares for ya!!! good job on the 13lbs....and keep us updated...Take Care Jesi

Morning Nancy Sorry to hear about the delay. Heck of a way to lose weight though girl! But I'm glad to hear they are taking pre-cautions instead of moving ahead. Keep us posted on what you find out. Hugs Carolyn

Well, surgery date here and gone (sniff sniff)...But, at least I know what is now going on..I spoke w/my PCP today, and he said according to the blood tests from last week, it shows my liver enzymes were elevated. So, he had me come in today for more blood work, and tomorrow I have to have a CT scan on my abdomen. He says my surgeon doesn't think it is from the liquid diet I have been on, so my PCP wants to be thorough. He thinks maybe it could be weight related. I spoke w/my brother today, and he says that elevated liver enzymes run on our mom's side of the family, and he had the same problem...(?????) soooo.....I'm more nervous about this than the surgery..can you believe that?? LOL...Well, I will keep you all posted on everything! Thanks for the support everyone! I luv ya!!
