Had my surgery cancelled!!!



Recommended Posts

Yvonne... something similar happend to me.. well.. different but I also got cancelled it was really depressing.. I went in and the hospital was in "Crisis Mode" which meant they had no bed for me (I required an overnight stay) and so I had to reschedule for the next week, when I got there the next week they didn't have me on the schedule! Very frustrating, It's a huge let down because you have to work yourself up mentally and then to be let down... I'm sorry that happend to you.. just take it as one of those things that wasn't meant to be.. and plan ahead for your next date! Good Luck!

thanks for all the kind words. This forum is great. I will call tomarrow and see what they can do for me since i was cancelled twice..

I will let all know what they say.

I think they should offer you the royal VIP FREE treatment?????At least a year of free fills or something??? I'm not really kidding...I mean they act as if your time isn't valuable...If I had taken off from school with a sub lined up and all that would have been from my sick leave or I'd pay for the sub....

I think it is terrible and I wish you the best of luck...let us know what they say....If we don't give a 24 hour cancellation notice we get charged the copay???

I am sooo sorry for your cancelation. I was canceled the night before my surgery. Had been on the two week liquid diet also, and 24 Clear Liquids. No one could understand my disapointment, you have to have your mind in the right place.. and I was there.. ready to go. Unfortunitly, My cancelation was due to medical problem they found. Hyperparathyriodism, in which I had to have a Parathyroid removed before I could continue with the band.4 months later I was banded. It was so worth the wait. So hang in there, I can tell you that you will be so glad you waited it out. Take a deep breath....... IT WILL HAPPEN.

I am so sorry that happened to you. With all the physical and emotional preparation that goes into facing surgery, to have it cancelled twice is just awful. I would be really upset. They ought to do it for you for free.

Oh that stinks! On the other hand, I'm not sure I'd want my dr to operate on me if he had a Migraine. I get those and it's not pretty. How terrible that they brought you in a second time without first getting their team together! At least you know it will happen. Hang in there. Keep thinking about where you will be a year from now. How exciting!

Ok now that scares me..they better not cancel on me for my surgery. I had to take time off of work and they had to set up someone to cover for me for the 2 weeks I will be off from the day of surgery. That will screw everything up if it gets cancelled. How often does this happen??

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
