So much for December 21st!

My surgery has been cancelled due to my iron level being too low. My dr. will have my labs drawn again in a month and hopefully the level will be better. I have been crying all morning. I am so disappointed. There are no words to explain how I feel right now. Dee

Don't be too disappointed. It is for a reason. Once you finally have the surgery, this whole episode will be not a big deal. It seems like such a long time when your going through it. Once it is all said and done it will not me that big of a deal. Besides you will be able to enjoy Christmas! After all December 21st is right there and you would be very tired for the festivities. Try to think positive. Things happen for a reason and it will be OK. Think of how fast a month goes by! Hugs, Janine

Dee, I am soooooo sorry about this. I know what you must be feeling. Please don't give up hope. It will happen! Please keep the faith! If you need to talk, let me know! Sheri

I am so sorry to hear about your delay. Be positive in knowing that the insurance company at least approved you and soon you will be on a way to a better life! I understand your disappointment. I have been informed that Cigna is cancelling all gastric bypass surgery coverage effective 2005! My husbands policy expires 2/28 so I am not sure I will make it in time. I am hoping the bariatric center will be able to work with me on this. I have done all the doctors appts. I just need to work on the pscyh eval (which for me did not go as well) and one other issue regarding allergies to some of the supplements. Best of Luck to you!

dee im so sorry to hear about that keep your chin up keep me posted that really bites keep me posted debby

Hey girl, I'm sooo sorry that you got cancelled! Please keep your chin up, you know it will happen soon and once your iron level is up, you'll be stronger for the surgery! Please call me if you need a shoulder! Kim
