Surgery is on hold...ugh

After 6 months of monitored weight loss..losing 30+ lbs.and getting 4 days before surgery.. and getting a kick in the face..

I decided to call my Dr. office to make sure all the I's were dotted and T's were crossed.. they hadn't gotten insurance approval and my cardiologists didn't give the right paperwork!!

My cardiologist is on vacation until 8/3..so I can't get "clearance" from him until he gets back! and I can't have my surgery until 8/12 or 8/19 because they are booked!!! I am so frustrated with this process..

I feel like I was doing this for nothing... Then I took a deep breath, wiped the tears away and thought.. I was not supposed to have this surgery on that day for what ever reason. I am firm believer in "everything happens for a reason", so who ever is watching over my , must have not liked that date!!

I was very upset last night, then I really took a step back and realized I have more time to get my body ready for this life change..

I have had a lot of light-headedness , dizziness and nausea.. so my body must need some more time to adjust to this type of eating. ( I have been on 2 week pre-op , 2 shakes a day 1 meal a day eating) I guess I need more time.. someone must know better than me that's why my surgery was postponned...:biggrin:

Great attitude. It will happen for you and you're probably right; you'll be better situated to be a success! :biggrin:

Hang in there, you'll have your surgery before you know it!
