My bags were packed. I was ready to go. I was at my lowest weight and psyched. Got to the hospital at 9 am this morning and sent to Pre-Op to ready for the 11 am surgery. Stripped down to the hospital gown with an IV in my arm and waiting the green light. At 11:15 am I was notified it was delayed 2 hours due to complications with the patient before me who was in surgery at that moment. At 1:30 pm I was notified it was delayed at least another hour. At 3:00 pm I asked if I stayed could the surgery still be performed and more importantly was the surgeon in any condition to do it ? They passed that question along and to my surprise the surgeon showed up. He asked me to cancel. He said his regular team was going off duty and this was major surgery. For my safety he recommended it be rescheduled. I was bummed but what could I do. I'll get my new date in the morning.

UPDATE: 5/26//12: I've been rescheduled for June 6th.

So sorry, what a drag! But... as he said..all for your safety!

Heres hoping you get a new date soon!

Hey...at least you know you can make it through the liquid diet!!! If you did it once, you can do it again

I am so sorry! you must be so frustrated. there must be a reason for it to be delayed...God works in misterious ways...you will get the surgery soon, and it will be perfect for you!

I hope they are able to reschedule sooner than later.

Hopefully this will just be a delay of a couple of days, not weeks. There IS a reason for this delay. Something just wasn't perfect for you to have this done today!

Good luck!!

So sorry I can only imagine. However, God works in ways we don't understand. You are alive and well to complain and talk about your furstration. Sorry again

I would think that you would be rescheduled the first opportunity since you were ahead of the line! I believe that everything happens for a reason. It'll be worth the wait. I've been waiting 13 months for this surgery so I know I would be frustrated! Keep us posted!!

Good advice

Gosh, I would have been so angry at that point. But, it just wasn't your time. Hopefully, they will give you the first appointment in the AM when you are rescheduled. It''s early but at least your the first one and the surgeon is totally fresh.
