Very Discouraged!!

I tell ya.... I've had a pretty easy time of it for the past 5 months.. all the nutrition stuff, lost some weight, eating better etc... all my appointments were on time and very organized..... After the last nutrition appointment they told me that it would be 1-2 weeks to get my appointment with the surgeon... 2 weeks goes by and nothing.. so I called and lo and behold they didn't even have me on their docket to schedule because they didn't have my psyche release (same office mind you)... i guess they have a new girl they are training and were really back logged. Anyway.. had my surgeon meeting and all was fine.. and got my date for surgery of Nov 17th.. Yes this coming Friday... They said I had to have an ultrasound done as well as the pre-op stuff (blood work, ecg etc).. I went for that a week ago with an order to call the report in for the ultrasound. The US is the determining factor whether I can have the surgery or not.... fatty liver issue.... says I'll have to lose another 10 pounds if that is the case.... I called down there today and still NO ANSWER ... I'm so frustrated at the moment.. trying to get my life organized and prepared for this on Friday but just hoping that she doesn't call back and say "nope.. sorry.. your liver is holding you back" sorry to vent... but I'm just really irritated at the moment...

Sorry you are having a hard time.. Hang in there. LisaMarie

Jenny, I know this is so frustrating but know that things happen for a reason even if we can not understand them at that time, trust me! I know it is so upsetting and you have every right to be that way I know for me until I knew it was all set it was like my life was on hold, hated that!!! Know we are here for you and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that all goes as it should! Keep us posted as soon as you know, also stay on top of them! This is about YOU right now! Debra P

Hi Jennifer! I know my doctor said that to combat the fatty liver thing i was to go on a liquid diet the week prior to surgery then 2 days prior to surgery go to clear liquids, i lost some serious weight on that diet. Be pro-active and not re-active and maybe they'll do your surgery anyway. Be Well and good luck Jen, ANDI
