Surgery postponed day of surgery!!

Talk about frustrating!  My surgery was scheduled weeks ago..... for November 2nd.  I got everything done - emptied the house of food I could not eat, stocked up on protein, took off work, had all kinds of support folks rearrange schedules.  At 0800 yesterday morning, I got a call that the MD had a medical emergency and would be rescheduling the surgery.  I was due there at 0920, I was literally 5 minutes from leaving the house!  I know it was something completely beyond anyone's control, but talk about frustrating.......now I have 2 more weeks of waiting to endure.  Thanks for letting me vent!  Jen

Oh Jen, I'm so sorry to hear that.  All post-ops know how anxious we were on the day or surgery.  Emergencies do happen, but tit's disappointing.  I'm surprised that you said 2 more weeks - the soonest that the doc's can get you scheduled again is in 2 weeks???

ugh! so sorry to hear of your frustration!! i guess all you can do is find something positive to focus on, and just think the delay may be saving you from some kind of complication! good luck with the waiting!

Sorry you were delayed. Take this time to work on the lifestyle changes you need to make. Protein first, waiting to drink after you eat, and walking!

What a BITE!! Hang in there

Medik, sorry to hear that your surgery was rescheduled.  This still gives you time to mentally prepare and get in more exercise time. 

I am so sorry your surgery was postponed Jen.  The next two weeks will fly by!  Hang in there and keep your chin up.  Please let us know if there is anything we can help with.   Hugs, Robin
