Hey all 1st. time on here. I was scheduled for my surgery on thursday the 27 and showed up at 7am got my I.V started, started getting excited then about 2hours later they come in and tell me the dr has a migraine so come back the next day for surgery. Well friday comes and same thing goes on but after about 3 hours they come in and tell me that they can't get a radiolagist(spelling??) to come in and work on Saturday even though they offered more money etc... so guess what? yep u guessed it put off for another 3 weeks. Feeling so upset. Bad thing is i had already been on liquid diet for about 2 weeks and a clear liquid for 3 days. So i guess all i can say is here i go again., (of course i did eat regular foods so far but will go back on liquids in a few days) thanks for letting me rant........

That totally sucks. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I keep thinking about how freakin MAD I'd be!

Ugh!

((HUGS))

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??
