MY SURGERY WAS JUST CANCELLED
REALIZE Band on 12/18/09 with
On the way to the hospital we got a call on my husbands cell phone from Bea at Dr. Nick's office. The anesthesiologist looked over my chart and decided he wanted me to have further tests done up to and including a cardiac cath and get clearance from the cardiologist. Hello....I just spent 6 1/2 hours at the cardiologist office last Tuesday and got clearance indicating "minimal to moderate risk" on anesthesia. I was just under anesthesia last Friday and flew through it. I am completely overwhelmed and confused! I immediately called the cardiologist office to make an appointment and the receptionist said that the anesthesiologist cannot require a cardiac cath. Bea in Dr, Nick's office said that Dr. Nick and the anesthesiologist need to talk as well that the cardiologist. I am so sad and sick to my stomach!

I just heard from my cardiologist's nurse. She said that my Dr. met with the main guru Dr. in their practice. They both agree that the anesthesiologist is being "overly cautious" but since I have insurance they are going to do the cardiac cath at 8:15 in the morning, Results will be sent to Dr. Nick. I guess I will know in the next day or two. Thanks for the support. I was crushed!

Hang in there. I can completely understand how upset and frustrated you are. You are so close though and it will work out eventually. Be patient, and glad that they are dotting their eyes and crossing their t's. As much as you want it; it would be worse if they missed something. Good luck and keep us posted.
Lisa,
I firmly believe the day you have the operation is the day you're SUPPOSE to have the operation.
While, yes, this is frustrating - you should feel honored that at least one Doctor is very concerning about your well being, and wants to make sure you will come out of this procedure unscathed.
It would suck if the Anesthesiologist did have a concern but didn’t do anything about it – and something happened to you.
Just think all of this as a BEST Holiday present you will ever receive !!
Keep us posted.
Good Luck on your Journey !!
