Cancelled surgery?

Has anyone ever come out of surgery and been told they couldn't do the operation? It's one of my biggest fears and with surgery happening this Thursday, I'm so nervous.

My doctor wasn't strict on the 2 week pre op diet. I still was supposed to get 800-1000 calories in with one of my meals being solid food. I did pretty good. Yesterday I had Soup for my Christmas dinner, but I did eat a peanut bar cookie thing, just 1. Now tomorrow starts my clear liquid diet and that's going to be a doozy but I only had to do that for 2 days. I'm just stressed and fearful about something going wrong. I've been waiting 2 years for this surgery. I just want everything to go well. My anxiety is just horrible these last couple of days.

Happened to me. After 3 of the 6 incisions, my 1st VSG attempt was aborted. I still had too much abdominal weight, which caused concerns and therefore aborted. I had successful VSG surgery 8 months later.

No but my surgeon said that if I had,requested anything except vsg he would've closed it up and canceled.
