Surgery canceled!

Please pray for me! As most of you know that my surgery was scheduled for next monday, the 16th. I got a call from my surgeon's office this AM and she said that the EKG that was done over there came back abnormal. The voltage was weak. what ever that means. I am very depressed at this point. And truthfully feel like giving up and going into hypernation. My DH is trying his best to keep me from doing that. But, I can honestly say that if I didnt have him and my 2 beautiful granddaughters, then I don't know what the outcome of this set back would be. Just please pray for me I love you, gang Jo

Jo I am so very sorry. I can not even begin to imagine how disheartening that would be for me. I pray that you will be cleared soon and get a quick surgery date. Did you ask them what exactly that meant and what is the next step to get your heart tested and cleared? Please keep us updated. God bless and again, I am so very sorry.

Oh, no, dearest Jo, Boy, what a mess! Hopefully, it was a malfunction of the equipment. I don't know about the voltage being weak. Does your heart have a voltage? Do not be discouraged or give up. God changes our plans when he has a better something planned for us. I will still be angeling you as well as praying for you. I am so sorry that this happened. BTW, I am cleared for surgery, but since I haven't seen my psychiatrist since July 7, 2004, I have to go back in to see him and get re-evaluated. HELLO? That was barely a month ago. He faxed to Dr. B, the initial psych eval from 2002. But there is nothing in it that refers to the WLS or my fitness (mental) for it. SO since it has been SOOOOOOO long, since I have seen my psychiatrist, I had to make another appointment for August 24, and will have to pay $100 -$300 (depending on how detailed it is) for the psychiatrist to write up a letter with his thoughts on the subject. Insurance will not cover the cost of the letter. So, like you, it is so close, I can taste it, but so far, I'm not sure it's gonna happen. But we must keep on keeping on and know that all will work for the best in the long run. Remember not OUR will, but GOD'S will is the way to go. Even if we don't agree with His timetable. Love you to bits and pieces, low voltage and all, Arlies

Hi Jo, I am so sorry for you. But, we all know you need a good sound heart to be able to go into this surgery. I have had a heart attack and I can to really appreciate my good heart. I say good because I am still here. Just claim that your right time will come. Don't quit! Smiles, Jan

Hey Jo! Im soooo sorry to hear about your surgery being postponed. But maybe you should look at it like a "postponement" instead of a "cancellation". I know this doesnt make you feel much better now (I can't imagine how down you must be), but you really wouldn't want to proceed with the surgery as planned if there might be a problem with your heart. It's not worth your life. If there is a problem you just need the time for the docs to see what it is and correct it so you can continue with your surgery....I truly believe that all things happen for a reason under God's plan! I'm praying for you! Kristi

Jo, OMG!! I am so Sorry about the delay, but hopefully everything is fine with your heart and it was the machine! You definately don't want to have this done right NOW if there is anything wrong. I will keep you in my prayers and if you wanna talk you have my #'s! Keep your Chin up and stay positive. Prayers are a Coming! Much Love, Angie

Hey Jo, I am sorry to hear your surgery has been delayed ,just look at it as a delay like Kristi said ,not a cancellation a postponement,if there is something wrong then they will fix it and you will be back on your way.I know that sounds easier said than done but, don't give up okay hun? it will all work out it has to that's all there is to it .Please don't go into hibernation I have been there for the last year and it's miserable besides we'd miss you too much... ya!,.....Sherry.......
