4 days before surgery and they cancel



Recommended Posts

Been in this liquid first the last two weeks, been mentally and physically preparing for this surgery and I get a call yesterday to cancel because my surgeon has some emergency clinic. Try to reschedule me for another two weeks out but I said fuck that. I won't do another 2 weeks out. I have my shifts all worked out to be covered I hate this fucking diet and they think it's just a simple reschedule. I may loose my job because of this now and I've definitely already lost my sanity. I feel so discouraged I'm begging the Dr to put me in this week.

Wow. I am so sorry to hear that. I hope and pray you get a call saying that you can come in and that they have your doctor other location covered. Just try to be positive but I do understand your frustration and know it's hard to be positive during times like this. Praying for you [emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?[emoji120]?

I know you are frustrated, but this may be showing some issues that may arise after surgery if you are slow to get your energy back or have complications. Definitely come up with some contingency plans!

Oh gosh... prayers sent for a quick solution. That's horrible! I know that I couldn't just reschedule at the drop of a dime... don't they have a back up Dr who can step in?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
