Surgery is off

 Fuck... Well I had a Cat scan and an ultra sound and both are normal, but I still have constant pain in my left side and stomach.  Doc refuses to operate on someone with unexplained tummy problems so he is going to examine me next Thursday and if I'm still not better an endoscopy.

 Hey man I know that you're disappointed right now but it's best to get this figured out before you undergo surgery.  From what you'd posted I thought you'd come back saying that you had some inflamed "tics" and you'd be fine.  Don't sweat the endo. if that has to be done.  It's really no big deal.  Get yourself healthy, have the surgery, and kick some ass!

Ricco,
     I have been there! My surgery kept getting delayed due to an ulcer that just wouldn't clear up. I had almost several year of antibiotics, peeks, pokes, prods, and endoscopies before I was cleared for surgery. I remember telling my supervisor that I was prep airing to have weight loss surgery in 2005. My surgery was finally done in 2008. Even my surgeon, who has done several thousand bariatric surgeries, commented once at how unusually long it took and the extent of medical procedures I had to go through to get cleared for surgery. It was all worth it. Hang in there, you'll be cleared for take off before you know it, and the extra time will have seemed like it flew by. I am quite sure that you will not have my bad luck and be waiting anywhere near that long. I took advantage of the time to study up and learn as much as I could about WLS.

Sorry about you getting scrubbed but your doc is looking out for your best interest long term.  Unlike our birthday boy, Bama Bob, you weren't already on the table with an IV in when you were scrubbed.

If you can keep from getting frustrated about the short-term issue, keep your eye on the long-term benefit.  Better a good surgery when you're healthy than the alternative.  Patience, friend.

 Thanks, Jerks... Not to sound like people on the main board but  don't know what I would have done with out  the guys back here.

Have they done a colonoscopy? Left pain can be almost anything. There is no signifficant body parts except intestines and such. Have they refered you to a GI doc? Sucks they put your surgery off but better safe than sorry right?
