I am so frustrated

Surgery was supposed to be at 7:30 AM this morning. I went through all the liquid diet last night, was in the bathroom all night from drinking the citrate stuff from hell and went to bed at 8PM to be up by 4 am for surgery , 9:30 PM phone rings and the doctor had a family emergency and cancelled my surgury UGHHH All that for nothing.. I am so frustrated.. .now I have no idea when the new surgery date will be. The surgeons office is waiting to hear from the surgeon on when he will be back and then they will call me to reschedule so lord only knows when , I am so bummed I could cry.. I was finally past the fear and back to the excitement and now its back to wondering when... sorry just had to pout for a moment.. :(  

Darn it.
Well you are "cleaned out" must be a wt loss from that?
sorry, trying to look on the postivie side

 LOL!! You got a point there :) 

So sorry for your disappointment Becca.  They will get you in when the family emergency is over.  Hope that your MD's family resolves asap.  Stuff happens, they are people too.  Know that we are here for your support.  Spout all you want, no calories in writing. 

Hugs, Kathy

Hi Becca,  I am so sorry this has happened to you.  What a nasty thing to deal with. I agree. You need to find something positive about this experience. I know that will be difficult, but it will help you get passed this hill on your journey.  Mag  

I had a last minute cancellation also. I had all my pre-op tests done and had been on a semi liquid diet for two weeks when I received a phone call the day before my scheduled surgery postponing it because "they" had apparently just looked at my pre-op tests and wanted me to get past test results from my previous doctor to measure them against the new tests! If the tests were looked at when I had them done, all the waiting and fasting in vain could have been avoided. I feel your pain and anger!

I can feel ur frustration.  The 2 weeks of liquid diet that I went thru, i woulda killed my surgeon had he cancelled.  Keep ur chin up.  Home u get good news with a new surgery date soon.
