Surgery cancelled minutes before

I posted this on the main board but wanted to let you know here too that today I did not have my surgery. At the very last minute they cancelled due to my blood not being right. They said it was not clotting and to dangerous to go to surgery. So now I am so confused as I have prayed for months that if it were not meant for me to have the surgery that it would not happen and now this has happened. So what should I do? Friends say oh well its  was just not the right time. But so what happens if the blood problems gets fixed soon. Do I then go ahead with the surgery? I mean in my mind the surgery did not happen and that is the way I prayed dont let it happen if its not meant to be. Close the door God if you do not want me to do this and the door closed. So now what?? I am just so confused.

If God had wanted to close the door, He would have.  I am sure the doctors said "at this time" and I am sure they will be able to fix you so you can have the surgery.  If God wanted the door closed, it may have been different wording from the doctors.  Have faith.

So would the fact I did not get to have the surgery today be a closed door. I mean I prayed God if you dont want me to have the sugery please shut the door. Even said God if its not meant please dont let them do the surgery. 

So would the fact I did not get to have the surgery today be a closed door

Just a thought here: 

It has to be GOD's Timing..........NOT YOURS.... 

 

Relax and continue to pray........but pray -  - put it in God's hands....not yours.........like I said - it is God's timing..........not yours...........I know that as overweight people - we want things NOW !!! but - we didn't gain weight overnight.......and there is no fix overnight either ! 

Darlin, i understand completely how you feel....i was scheduled for revision surgery in Oct. 08.
Two days before the surgery, the insurance company throw a flag.....no surgery "for now".....

I was so thinking it was God's way of telling me no....Ins. decided i needed the 6 month class then i could have it.....with one class to go and surgery scheduled again this time for the end of May 09....I have a "stroke", it was a very light stroke....not due to BP, due to a compromised migraine....it left me with a lesion on the left side of my brain...so now it was wait til that heals to have surgery....

I had pretty much put it in the back of my mind, then during a Ob/Gyn appt. My Dr. ask me what i was waiting for, it had been 6 months, i was only told to wait 6 weeks...

So once again i rescheduled it with my surgeon and it was done Dec.3 09....

During this year and a half period i freaked out, several times, asking,  is this a sign, is this God telling me don't do it....i had to do alot of soul searching....i had to leave OH for a while....it hurt so bad to see everybody elses "victories",.
All the while thinking it would never happen for me....

I prayed, i did research, i bought books, i met and talked with people from OH, i looked at vefore and after pictures for motivation...finally i was at peace with myself and my surgeon's abilities....

By the time Dec rolled around, i was calm as a cucumber...i cannot remember having a nervous feeling...i was excited, but apprehensive that it would actually ever happen....i said i'll believe it when i see it.....

Im here for ya if you need to freak out.....i hope what ive said helps in some way....just know you are not alone...i have a friend who had this done and during preop they discovered that she needed open heart surgery...she did that, then went on to have WLS......and is doing great

You hafta really want it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Never give up.....

It just wasnt time....it will happen dont lose sight of your goals....

 I don't look at this as a sign from God for you not to have the surgery......I look at this as Satan trying to rob you of your joy that you will have WHEN you do get the surgery.    You want to enter into this journey in the best possible place you can be health wise and other wise.    I feel if God was shutting the door you would not have been approved for the surgery in the first place.   God's timing is always best.....listen to your doctors.   You will soon have another date.   I will pray that God will give you peace of mind of the surgery being delayed!!!

Jack was scheduled for surgery and we had the IV's going and kept waiting for three hours. Finally they came and said that there were no ICU beds and they wouldn't do it without an ICU bed.  We were all nervous and scared.  We took it as a sign it wasn't meant to be.  Ten days later my mom dropped dead (Jack was scheduled for the open RNY) and there would have been no way we could have made the trip (6 hours) if he would have had the surgery. God knew the plan and it was just delayed.  God wanted Jack with me as I went through losing my mom and didn't want me to worry about leaving Jack by himself after the surgery.  A month later the surgery was scheduled..  We were so calm, not anxious and it went perfect.  That was 5 years ago and he is still doing great. Just keep praying and God will take care of you for whatever way you need to go. I pray you have peace with whatever happens.

After I wrote my first reply and re-read some of the other things being said here....i hafta say....dont go looking for boogerbears!!!!!!!!

Just cause you didnt get to have your surgery doesnt mean your gonna have a stroke, need open heart surgery or your family members may pass.....

Just try to relax, fix the blood condition....breath....listen to your dr.s,  your body and dont let your mind run away with ya....

We are all here for ya....

Thanks you are so kind. I am doing better than when I first posted. I was a mess and so confused about why the surgery was cancelled expecially since I had prayed soooooo hard that if it was not God's will that he would stop it and he did. LOL guess I need to learn to pray more clearly next time. lol  I have a peace now that I did not have before and I pray that all will be well with the blood and the ultrasound that I must have on my thyroid on Monday for the growth they found on Friday. Please continue to pray for me that God will work this all out and that I will once again have a date to have my surgery.

I am an RN in surgery and was just wondering why your blood wasnt clotting? Do you take any meds that may slow the clotting process (Aspirin, Plavix, Coumadin). Hopefully once they figure all this out you can reschedule.. Good luck!
