SURGERY CANCELLED!!!!!

My surgery was scheduled for May 3rd then rescheduled for May 2nd, now I have to wait again!!

I am so upset about this but happy to know that my doctor does care about his patients!! I have a sore on my stomach, I cut myself and it got infected!!!! I went to see the doctor yesterday and he cleaned out the cut and packed it with Iodoform and prescribed an antibiotic for 14 days!! I had to cancel my surgery and continue with the liquid diet for another 2 weeks!! He said he just wants to make sure no infection is present when we do the surgery. I have to pack this wound with Iodoform packing strips for a week and take my antibiotics for 2 weeks then see him on May 14th and if there is no infection we will reschedule the surgery then!!! He says he should be able to get me in right away after seeing me on the 14th (fingers crossed)! I am glad that we post poned this surgery because if the infection were to get to the band I would need another surgery to remove the band and possibily get all kinds of infections in my stomach and around the band!! I am glad to know the surgeon does care! He said we could probably get around the infection and do the surgery with no complications but why take the chance. I figure I have waited this long what's 2-3 weeks more!!! :think:( :sick

Oh, Keep your head up.....you're doing great already even without the surgery. It is nice to know that your dr. is taking the proper precautions though. Just think you'll lose all the more weight before surgery! Best of luck!~ Nicole
