Well I was scheduled for surgery today! After checking in and doing everything but being pushed into the OR, my surgery was canceled. I woke up yesterday with poison oak! It was starting to get on my stomach so the doctor just didn't feel comfortable doing it with the risk of infection. He's gone all next week for Christmas so I'm rescheduled for Jan. 3rd. Bummer!

I am so sorry. Are you following any kind of liver shrink diet that will now be extended as well? This all really stinks for you. I'm just glad it's simple like poison oak and not anything really really serious. Good luck!

4 days before my surgery I broke out in hives had to reschedule for 2 weeks later cause they put me on steroids I made it an extra 2 weeks and u will too. I believe there's a reason for everything good luck

Yikes that stinks

What a letdown!

Look at it as a positive! All things happen for a reason and this is a very major surgery.

The time will past quickly and the 3rd will be here before u know it.

My potassium was significantly low and I was given meds to get it up and if it did not go up I would of had to reschedule. But everything worked out and I was able to go in healthy and nothing to cause major infections.

Yes, I've been on a liquid diet for 2wks! (Lost 12lbs) The doctor told me I could eat this week then on Monday do my liquid diet again until the 3rd.

Hopefully it won't change my out of pocket expense! I've already paid a ton!

That's what the surgeon was concerned about, possible infection. He says this is elective and we don't need anything to go wrong. I agree!

Sadly, I'm pretty sure it will. You will have to meet your deductible again, I'm sure.
