Discouraged

Monday i was supposed to go for my pre-op testing.  Surgery was supposed to be on the 23rd.  Again, more delays concerning surgery.  This is not my first time with delays.  I finally completed everything I needed to in order to finally get a date and then the clots happens.  Yes, I am glad that it happened before surgery, but dang it it bums me out.  I was scheduled to see Dr. Cobean on June 10th.  That's gonna be a long wait.  The 23rd is going to really bum me out knowing that i could have had the surgery behind me.  I can't help but think that what amount of weight would i have lost by June 10th. Now i have to wait until then to hear the verdict of when my next date will be set for.  Trying to stay upbeat but its hard.  Mad as a wet hen!

It's understandable why you would be disappointed and frustrated and sometimes it's ok to take a seat on the "pity pot" for a moment or two.

I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through!  It IS a real bummer!  I can imagine it would be hard to stay upbeat!  Know that we're here when you need to vent!  We'll listen.  Keep in touch and keep your chin up!  You'll still get this done......it's just a matter of time!  (I know.....not what you wanted to hear!!  SORRY!)

It is upsetting. It's going to be hard to get through those dates which meant something and now don't.
Your time will come for surgery and in the meantime you are getting cared for, healthier and resolving the clot issue, June seems like years away, but will be here for you soon.

Please try not to get into the "would-have, could-have, should-have" thinking. Our journey is what it is. We can't change what is real. I could kick myself for not exploring WLS earlier. Those thoughts are self defeating. As hard as it is not to think along the "Should-have" path, I try to deal with what IS.

Well, that is very discouraging and I would be upset too.  You and I will be on about the same timeframe.  I'll be here to go through it with you, but right now be glad you are HERE to go through it, you could have been lost to this world a few weeks ago, I know that has crossed your mind. Someone is looking out for you.  Keep your chin up and keep on posting and reading, it will help make the time pass.

Today is a new day. Feeling better today than yesterday. I go to the doctor's today and I am going to ask tons of questions to get to the bottom of this.  I'm just one of those people who needs to know everything.  What, when why and how. I hope the doc can find out what is up with the leg.  The ultram he prescribed has been working well at keeping the pain at bay but I still need to know what's up.  Its strange that it hurts as badly as it does and there was no injury to cause it. I was literally in bed at the hospital when the leg thing started.  No clot so who knows what it could be.  Not gonna analyze it to death. I will know more in a couple of hours. Just gonna relax and breathe and keep my mind occupied.  

Thanks for listening.

I am sorry you have had to go through all this it is hard enough to wait through the pre-surgery requiremnents without having to deal with all that you have had to. It seems like june is soo far away, but it will be here before you know it and you will know that you are ready for it.. Keep your chin up and if you need to vent we are happy to listen, Take care and let us know how your doctors appointment today goes...
