surgery cancelled! ugh



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow I was due to be sleeved...an hour ago I received a call that said my lab work came back with blood in my urine...I had my period when urine was taken & told them ahead of time..thinking I may have an infection, they cancelled. To come this far and be told "sorry" is devastating! I am about to curl up in a ball and cry! I had prepared so much for this, spent a ton of money and now I am in limbo...so upsetting!

I would think you could just redo the urine test, couldn't you? Seems like a silly thing to hold up surgery when you told them you had your period. I hope it all works out for you and that it isn't postponed too long.

I am so sorry that happened to you. Hopefully you can take another UA ASAP and have the surgery rescheduled quickly.

Emilysmom

so sorry you are dealing with this :(

handing you a box of tissues, can you reach them???? ;)

you'll have the test again, everything will show that things are fine :)

that doesn't help your situation though :angry:

did you have a ticket to Mexico (u spent a lot of money??)

now you need to re book a flight???

if thats the case

OMG - how horrible :angry:

in your case, i don't think things can get any worse

there will be a happy ending soon

while the beginning of your new healthier, happier, longer life begins into sleeveland :)

take care

good luck

Thanks everyone! My insurance covers it but I have a high deducible plan so I've spent $1200 already plus $250 in mental health (which isn't covered) plus I took a weeks vacation for this and now I lose it. So upsetting ..all because there was blood in my urine..from my period. REALLY!? Ughhhhh

Omg.... I'm speechless.... that's horrible! I'm so sorry and I agree you need to be a squeaky wheel and complain tomorrow. They could re-run the UA prior to your surgery- on the same day! Good luck!

Hmmm that makes me worried because I am scheduled for Monday. Had my lab work done Wednesday last week but I know I've had blood in my urine since I was 11. How long did it take between your labs and the phone call?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
