20 days to go pre-op, now surgery postponed for 5 mos.

Help me. My doctor's office called me today to tell me that although he is covered by my plan, the hospital I had selected is not. The only other hospital he does it at is now booked up through April. I am so devastated that I literally can't stop sobbing. I was so ready. I had done everything I had to. I've bought all the stuff I'll need, I've quit smoking, I've made arrangments with work. I've been working so hard getting into an exercise routine. The last two weeks, I admit, I've been crazy about it. You all know how it is. I just don't know what to do. I feel so hopeless. Like, I just can't wait another 5 1/2 months. Psycholgically this is just horrible. Why didn't they tell me sooner? They've know what insurance I had since June. They are the one's that convinced me I should go to this hospital. I feel so let down that I don't even wamnt to go to him anymore. Please, somebody help me thorugh this. I've left a message for the doctor, but I just don't even know what to say.
