So I have been doing all the pre-op stuff and some dieting. Yesterday I finally got the last of my pre-op clearance (from PCP) and called and got my surgery date. We set up everything for Feb 3rd and was told to start my pre-op diet today. I was so excited that I didn't even care that I would be eating next to nothing for the next 14 days. Happy to do it. Then I get a call this morning that I have to go back to my PCP for another clearance since he mentioned that I was clear for surgery as long as the sinus thing I have going on now is gone. (He is not real fun to go to - a bit of problems with him in past) So I get a call this morning from the surgery scheduler saying that I have to go back to him and get another clearance once this sinus thing is gone because the anestheoligist will not accept it with conditions on it.

I understand not going in sick but go back to the doc AGAIN! It totally got me down down down. I felt like I was on the home stretch but now have and extra 5 miles.

What a bummer.

It took me over a year to finally get my surgery from when I started my 6 month pre op. It seems like forever, but a couple extra weeks will seem laughable in 1 year.

Good News.....I went back to my PCP because I was running a low grade temp for 7 days! When I got there, I did not have a fever. I had explained that I felt fine and how the surgeon said that they would not except his 1st clearance letter. So he checked me out again and adjusted the letter. For me having soo much trouble with him the first time I mentioned this he has actually been really great the last few visits. I faxed off the letter and was able to keep all of my original dates! My surgery will be Feb 3rd! ONE WEEK. So now I am going through all of the last minute second thoughts??? I think this is normal. It makes me feel better reading everyones post. So thanks.

Forgot to say that we bought a new thermometer and it reads way lower than the original one I had!

good for you
