They cancelled my surgery



Recommended Posts

Well i got up and took my shower with the soap they gave me and my wife and i was at st.francis hospital at 5:30 am!! We went to the 3rd floor to check in and the lady could not find my name on the list so she checked in the surgeons file and found where my surgery had been cancelled because my live enzymes were very high

So now i have to go to another GI doctor and get clearance then reschedule im so disappointed i just want to die!!!!!!

That would be disappointing. Did you follow the prepop diet that the DR gave you?

Man, that sucks. I'm sorry. Hope the clearance comes through quickly. My first surgery date was canceled when I was 1/2 way through the pre-diet because they wanted some more heart tests done. It is so disappointing when you've got your mind/spirit all geared up. Morning-of really bites.

That is SO frustrating and upsetting! You are so close, and you can do this! I promise. It's a minor set back, the universe telling you that it's not the exact time. You're still on the road there, just a slight Detour. Some traffic. You got this, and when you get your clearance you're gonna ROCK it!

By any chance are you in Virginia? I know it's unlikely, but we have a St. Francis bariatric hospital here. :)

And this too shall pass. You will get through this with the determination you used to stick to the pre-op diet!!

Sorry, I know in the beginning you were having trouble staying on your pre op diet. I didn’t know if that had something to do with it

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
