I made a BIG boo boo

I've had so much going on lately, I FORGOT about my preop appointment Friday. My surgery is June 3rd. I'm so scared I will have to reschedule surgery since I missed my appt, not to mention it's a short week. :0(

Sniff sniff.

That is a big boo boo!! OMG! We're you supposed to be on a pre op diet?

Oh my goodness...

Well, I would imagine they don't want to lose all that $$$ they are going to make next week, but still - you are at their mercy!

Chalk it up to pre-op jitters, unless subconsciously you are not wanting to go through with this?

Keep us posted and hang in there!!!

It's a little bit of both, I think... And no preop diet, just the liquids the day before. I cannot believe this happened. Stuff of nightmares. The crazy thing is- I have ALL of my appointments on my phone, this one did NOT alert me like it should have. W T F!!!

What was it that happened???

Well hopefully they can squeeze you in somewhere... But also make sure that you are really ready for it, there is no shame in delaying a bit if you need too.. I only say that because you said you might be second guessing a bit.

Just call on Tuesday and hopefully they can squeeze you in somewhere, which they probably will. If they can't and your surgery has to be rescheduled, just remember- everything happens for a reason! Good luck!

I agree Mysti. And this week, myself and both my boys were dealing w the after effects of strep throat. We were all on antibiotics (the kids amoxicillin and me the penicillin shot to the tush). It was awful. I work part time & take care of both my children mainly on my own, so I'm ver organized.... This was very out of character. I have a very supportive husband but he works like crazy so I'm left picking up the slack.

Anyway don't want to sound like I'm complaining. I just cannot believe I did this.

What is really upsetting is that this is a new bariatric center. I believe I'm the first official patient. I feel AWFUL.

And I'm going at 730 Tues morning, in person.

I am sure they will be understanding! :-)

Geez I don't know!!!
