No WLS til Febuary..

I have been off the boards for a few days.  I was told by the Dr's office that my surgery has been officially changed from Dec 22 go Feb 9th.  I am trying to keep a positive attitude about this, but I am so mad that I am having to go through all this because someone didn't do the correct paperwork.  

The whole thing is beyound my control.  That is really the biggest problem.   I would love to chew out whoever caused this to happen, but noone will tell me exactly who that is.  

Thanks to all for your caring and support.  

I want my place on the loosers bench!   

Cathy,
I am so sorry that you had to be postponed.  It seems a lot of us have suffered for different reasons due to a mishap with the doctor's office.  Sometimes I wonder if their staff knows how important these surgeries are.  Keep your chin up, your time will come.

Thanks for the kind words.  I am trying to be positive about this.  I LOVE the raindeer!

I know how frustrating this is, I was denied by ins 4 times before I finally self payed so I would be alive.  Just remember all things happen for a reason and God knows the reason.  Just look at it as you will have more time to get things together, go on a longer preop diet to make the liver shrink, you won't be incapacitated during the holidays.  Try to stay positive, which I know really sucks but Feb 9th will be here before you know it.

Thanks.  I am trying to stay focused on the big prize, but the emotions are such a roller coaster ride.   I have started that pre op diet two or three times already.   I get so hungry I could eat the house.  I guess it is the stress of all of this and head hunger combined.  

You are right that I should use this oppertunity to my best advantage.  It has been hard for me to get started and stick to it.   I haven;t gained any, I have lost about 10 pounds since I started this, but that is not nearly enough.  

Thanks for caring.

Good Morning Cathy!

I know this sounds like terrible news, but it will be OK!  Take this time as oppurtunity to work on those new lifestyle changes are going to start after surgery! 

I have been there myself!  At one point I wanted to go to my Docs office and give them a piecce of my mind, as well as a well placed foot!  But the "nice Scott" prevailed and I did not end up in jail because of someone else's mistake!  LOL!!!

Hang in there and.....you know what's coming....just wait for it...

BREATHE !

You'll be OK!

I am hanging.   Thanks !

Hey Cathy, hate to hear about your surgery being postponed, but postponded is better than being cancled. Did they give you a reason as to why your date was changed? If you have seen the post from us the past few days, we just when through something very similar, not as bad as your though. Just keep in touch with them, you might want to tell them to give you a call if they have a cancellation before Feb. 9th, just a idea. Keep us posted on your progress.

Cheryl, I've been watching your posts.  It must have been terrible for you.  I know that I have to keep my own situation in prespective.  I am really trying to keep my chin up and turn this into a positive thing. 

I am so confused about what to do.  I guess If I have any chance of getting a cancellation spot prior to Feb.  I should go on the pre op diet now.  The only thing is that I am so stressed over this that all I can think of is FOOD.   I guess this is the one time in my life when I can see my association with emotions and food.  I have never believed that I had a problem with that until now. 

I am STARVING most of the time now.  I have managed not to gain any weight.   If I go on the pre op diet now.can I sustain it until FEB if I have to wait that long?   I'm not sure I can.  

Thanks for the kind words.

Hang in there......believe me I know where you are coming from.....but the good thing is that you have the date so that is the POSITIVE thing that you can focus on.......try to just enjoy the holidays and look forward to feb. 9.........if there is anything I can do to help just yell.....or if u just need to yell, just yell  (hahaha) sometimes it helps ..............
