Still crying
Hi everone,
Today was my big day(again,after having been cancelled once already).I arrived at the hospital around 9.went through admissions,went up to the 3rd floor and they got me ready for surgery.My surgsery was scheduled for 11-45am.My husband and I awaited patiently fot them to take me don to the OR.Around 12-30 they still hadn't come.My husband went to talk to the nurses to find how much longer.The nurse came in the room and said "Sorry ,your surgery is cancelled,there are no beds in ICU."She took out my iv,told me to get dressed and I was free to go.She said that admisions would call me to reschedule.September or October,she thought.
I don't even know how to describe how I'm feeling.I have never had so much heartbreak in all my life.I don't knowif I can do this again.Mentally and emotionally,I'm exhausted.I cryed all the way home.Even to come to this site, the tears started to roll again.Hopefully I still have work to go to.This is the second time in 2 months I've booked off for recovery.A 3rd time ,I maybe applying for welfare!
Thanks for listening,I just really need a shoulder to cry on.

So sorry to hear that! What a huge let down, my heart is breaking for you. That is so unfair to put someone through, let alone twice. I can see why you are devastated and discouraged. Hang in there God has a plan for everyone, and there is a reason for this...as hard as it is to believe. I am praying that you will get in quickly! Dont give up you are sooo close now!
Take care!

I'm soooo sorry that this happened to you twice! Especially since you were all prepped and ready to go...that really stinks. They cancelled my surgery the first time too..and I was scared that it'd be cancelled again but I was lucky. Just reading this actually made me cry because I know how much everyone wants this and to be so close...I hope you don't give up though..I pray that you get your surgery soon!
OH Donna, I just can't IMAGINE how you 're feeling. What a rotten thing to happen. Try hard not to let it defeat you though. I'm a WLS-hopeful from Nova Scotia, and from reading all the posts here, it sounds like you've been through SO much to get to this point. It must be so hard, feeling hopeful and optimistic, only to have your hopes dashed minutes from surgery.
I'll keep visiting the NB forums, and hope to read GOOD news from you as soon as you have another date...keep the faith!
Deborah.
