Well as you may or may not know my surgery on April 9th did not go as planned. Opened me up and closed me up almost as fast. Found a fatty mass but doc didn’t know what it was so he was hesitant to continue. Long story short, between the treatment from the staff at hospital to the treatment I’ve since received from the surgeon, my PCP is asking me to move on to a diff hospital and program. She’s appealing my insurance to get me into her hospital. Hoping it works. I’m tired of waiting. Ready to finally get this done and begin new journey. Feels like I’m in limbo.

It's already so stressful to go through the process of getting accepted and having a surgery date; to have to go through all you have and then wait is miserable.Let's hope things turn around for you and you get it done soon!

You might like to msg @numinousvessel - also open and closed with no surgery (in their case, due to intestinal adhesions). Messes with your head - might be nice to chat to someone else in your boat....

Oh good Lord! That's terrible, but so glad your PCP is working to get this moving forward for you. I can't even imagine the stress you're under!
