:smile2: I have been ssooo disappointed and dejected all week. I was so excited about getting my surgery date of 11-11. Then when I went in for my pre-surgery work up, the nurse pract. said that I was no longer cleared for surgery. My GYN had wanted to do a minor surgery that he said would not interfere with my lap-band. But the lap band folks did not agree. So we pushed the lap band back to 11-22 with the GYN surgery to be Mon 11-8. THEN my potassium dropped to 2.7 because of the quick water loss from the liquid protein diet, so that put a screaching halt on everything. The potassium went back to normal after I began eating again. After a long talk with the GYN he decided that I need more work from the pulmonary folks before we do any surgery. Bummer. xq!@#$%&^. I was so darn close, but I just knew something would happen and it wouldn't get done. They say it will still happen soon. The GYN is trying to push the pulmonary visit to be soon. I hope, I hope. Hope everyone of you Nov folks have good luck. Hang in there! We'll all be successful.
