Surgery tomorrow might get cancelled... So STRESSED.



Recommended Posts

I've had swollen tonsils for about a week and my surgeon said it was fine, but yesterday I started to spike a fever. I called her office and I'm waiting for her call back. I'm so stressed and afraid that I'm going to be postponed. I can't handle doing this liquid diet, and Clear Liquids only today, then getting cancelled. Have any of you had an experience like this?

I'm scheduled for Wednesday and have a sinus infection been on antibiotics since Sunday, I'm also waiting to hear if my surgery will be rescheduled and I'm getting frustrated, I don't wanna hear it's postponed and doing the liquid diet for nothing plus starting the diet all over is really going to suck!!

Yes even a little worse, I was on the table ready to be rolled back and the Surgeon walked in and said my blood sugar was too high and would not operate that day. No amount of my begging worked. He set it for a month later, He said eat thanksgiving dinner and then start the pre op diet again. Meanwhile a tumor and cyst on my ovary was discovered and on Dec 5 I had a revision of my lap band, to RNY, and a gyno came in and removed my ovary cyst and tumor. I guess there really is a reason for everything, I say this in the hope that you do not get canceled tomorrow. I pray your fever goes away, But if for some reason it is canceled, try to think of it as being for a reason and that it isn't NO, it is just not Tomorrow. Longest four weeks waiting for the second date to come. But it did all work out for the best.

Sending you the most positive of thoughts and prayers.

I was feeling so bad before mine. Thought I had strep thoat. They said the antibiotics they give during surgery will kill whatever it was so for me not to worry about it.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
