Surgery was postponed until Friday! sigh

I was scheduled for RNY yesterday (wed).

I arrived at the hospital a nervous wreck - was admitted, had my gown on and IV in place, had my blood thinner injection, and boots on my legs, when a nurse came in stating that my surgeon had an emergency sugery that he had to perform on a patient from the previous day and would be in surgery for several hours. I was told that my surgery would have to be postponed until friday! I was so disappointed!

I know everything happens for a reason - and I dont mind to wait another few days - however, any nervousness that I already had has been amplified times 10 now! Im even more worried that something might go wrong with my surgery - just like the patient that my surgeon was having to re-operate on.

I know everyone is different and some of us have more health problems than others. The surgeon tells me that my case should be easy breezy but I cant help but have butterflies in my stomach!

thanks all for listening!

That is a bummer, but thankfully it was only postponed for a short time...Take some deep breathes, relax and know that very soon you will be the rest of us on the loser's bench!
