 I guess it wasn't my time. I checked in and when they started to draw blood, they found some numbers that didn't look good. Dr Morton said that he wanted to reschedule the band surgery till we get the blood work looking good. It seems that l am taking too much Blood pressure med. I am bummed that l don't have the band in place but things could go wrong and l not be around.

Sorry this happened to you Phil, but at least you doctor is looking out for what is in your best interest. I was butt nekked, prepped, IV's in place and on the table when they cancelled my surgery on the origianlly scheduled date. Someone had not run some cardio tests the Doctor needed and he refused to proceed without them, especially with my having had the heart attacks in 2002.  He postponed my surgery for 2 weeks until the tests were done and the results were on hand. It was upsetting at the time to say the least, and I was PO'ed, irritated, and mad. But then I realized that he was looking out for MY best interest and well being - which is EXACTLY what I wanted him to do.  Besides, the extra 2 weeks of the liquid diet and extra few pounds of weight loss actually helped me and made the surgery go better for the Doc and for me. 

Hang in there brother - everything happens for a reason!  Keep a positive attitude!  You'll do even better now!!
