Surgery date changed

Had my preop yesterday afternoon - it went great. Surgeon took alot of time because I had a list of questions for him.  I went to my mom's afterwards and told her, that also went very well.  I started the conversation by saying I had some exciting news, at least for myself.  She understood my reasoning because she has seen me struggle my whole life with weight.  Glad that is done and I slept like a rock last night.  Then this morning shortly after I got to work I got a call from the surgeon's nurse, he has to go out of town the 22nd and did not want to leave me with an alternate doctor or his PA so soon after surgeon.  I want him here as well.  He was so apologetic, so I am now scheduled for April 26th at 12:30 pm.  At least I don't have to start the pre-op diet for another week.   OH WELL, it will get here and I will be even more prepared for it.

Good attitude on the date change Cindy.  A week is just a moment of time in a lifetime of healthiness.  I would want my MD around for the recovery time as well.  Thanks for updating us on the change.  Looking forward to the day I can welcome you as a loser.  Hugs

Cindy I am happy that the appointment went so well.  My surgeon went on vacation the week after I wanted my surgery and he just would not do it.  It shows that they do care about us. It sounds like you are all set.

yes they do.  If you don't mind my asking where are you having your surgery and who is your surgeon Lucy?

Just a few days difference, and I'm sure you'd rather have your surgeon there for you. It'll be here before you knowit and soon you'll be on the losers bench. Just hang in there.
