Well, I with everyone else.  Rant, rave, scream, cry.  At times, I thought also I was NEVER going to get that freakin surgery!!!!  GEZ, I did the same rantin' and ravin'.  But, even though times seems to creep along now, it will happen for you.  Like Mary said, it isn't a no, just not right now.  Feel fortunate your doctor wants to make sure you are in as good health as possible before he operates on you.  Some doctors don't give a care.  There is a guy on the men's forum that was ON THE TABLE IN THE SURGERY ROOM, and the doctor called off his surgery because he realized that he hadn't had a cardiac clearance.  Gez, that stopped my whining!  Hang in there.  It will happen.  Michael

My surgery was scheduled for Aug. 20, 2007.  I got to the hospital very early in the morning and at the admitting desk found out my surgery had to be postponed because there was an instrument needed that wasn't available.  I was devastated and extremely upset but about a week later I was rescheduled for Aug. 31.  I had to do the five day liquid diet twice---I wasn't very happy about that.  I heard of another person who actually was in the OR and they discovered she had a cat scratch so her surgery was postponed due to the possibility of infection.
