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

speedy recovery

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!

For gosh sake, have they never heard of a freaking period before? I'd be going postal.

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?

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
