Surgery Date Moved

I went in today for my pre-op appointments. My surgery was scheduled for the 27th of this month, and they moved it to April 24th. Part of me is disappointed that it's not next week like I'd planned, but the other side of me is happy, because this makes it easier to get people that can help me post-op. Either way, I've got a new surgery date!

sorry for the frustrating delay

you are taking things very well, by seeing the good instead of the bad in this situation, now being able to give yourself more time for your pre-op. Way to go talk to you later

best wishes

It just wasn't met to be next week :(. But is will happen and you will soon join us on the BIG LOSER'S BENCH! Can't wait to dance with you! ;)

Mine got pushed back and forth a couple of times as well. The day it actually happened turned out to be the perfect time for my surgery! Yours will be perfect as well! :)

Good luck and I'm sliding over on the loser's bench!! :)

Mine is scheduled for the 27th. I've had a few crap already?! moments, but I think I'd still be ticked off if they rescheduled. It's good that you're able to take it in stride and find the positive side of it, you know, since you don't have any choice and stuff. :)

Had you started any type of preop diet, that you will have to either maintain or restart? Picked up any Rxs ahead of time you need to make sure not to lose? If you had initiated anything with STD make sure you let them know of the changes.

^ just trying to brainstorm, just in case. :)

I was already well into my pre-op diet (and 12 lbs down!) and have been told to discontinue it until 2 weeks before the date.

However, I spoke too soon. My mother is the one that's coming to town to take care of me immediately post-op. Of course, it happened that she absolutely cannot take any days off the week of my surgery. So, looks like it may be moved again.

I almost wonder if these are signs that I shouldn't be having it.
