Had to reschedule the DAY BEFORE surgery

In order to give myself enough time to drop the 10 lbs before surgery, I actually started the shakes about 2.5 weeks before the big day, which was supposed to be 3/1. I get my ass to the gym, keep my calories hovering around 900/day and really bust my ass.

The day before the surgery, around 3pm I get a call from the doctor's office letting me know that my surgeon slipped on ice and dislocated his shoulder. I can either go with a different surgeon, or I can reschedule for about 3 weeks later. Since the last time I wound up with a doctor that wasn't the one I wanted turned out to be a bad experience, I decided to postpone until my doctor is better.

Suffice it to say, I'm bummed :-(.

:-( I'm so sorry to hear about this!!! But just remember it will all be worth it in the end.

I thought the thread title/subtitle meant you had to reschedule your surgery because the surgeon broke *your* shoulder and I was kind of like "WHAT?".

Sorry you have to wait. :(

.

Does a different surgeon mean his partner? If so,, they both know each others work. With that in mind, I would go to his partner. Who knows what shape he'll be in when he gets back.

I have had a dislocated shoulder, and it still doesn't function at 100%. That's been almost 3 yrs. ago.. I would give it a thought if I were you.
