Wow! That is a lot to handle! We had to put one of our dogs to sleep Saturday. I feel your pain and your loss. I think I would find out why they keep putting you off. My husband had to have the surgery off season, as he is self employed. No disability insurance, so you do it off season (winter). Well they started pulling this crap on him and he finally e-mailed the surgeon and told him he needed a date NOW or forget it. They moved him from March to mid-February and then moved him up to a cancellation 1/24, which was two weeks away. Maybe you need to get mad and rattle a few cages. It's nerve wracking enough without having to adjust to more than one reschedule. Give 'em hell!! I bet you get a date sooner. Remember, if you don't have surgery, they don't get paid. If it's being rescheduled because you aren't living up to their expectations of weightloss, that's something else all together! If that's the case, you need to face your demons. Good luck!

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this frustration. I am also terribly sorry for the loss of your cat.
Try to remember that things happen for a reason even if we can't always figure out what that reason might be.
You were meant to have this surgery just not in August or the 6th of Oct.
You may find yourself feeling well enough to work this Christmas season. Does your job require heavy lifting? Don't give up. Hang in there and this too shall pass.

You won't need tons of time to recuperate, a couple of weeks will probly be sufficient, unless you do an extremely physical job like Throwing cars, or something!

Kimol and I were both post-poned twice too! WE WERE NOT HAPPY!
But we lived thru it! I agree with Newme, if you feel like you are being jerked around, then call the office and throw a fit! You are paying for service, not more headaches!
God Bless!

Thank You Ladies.
I've complied with everything to get this GBS done, lost the weight once already, now doing it again.
My job is pretty tough, I decorate shopping malls for christmas, 30 foot trees and overhead stuff too. Not something I can rush back to.
Just don't know what to do about this.

Aw bless ya dont give up you have come so far, and so sorry about your cat xxxxxxx

hey! i was reading your post..I think you will have more than enough time to recover..

your mind is an amazing thing, and if you think positive about your recovery, you will have no problems.

i work as a mental health therapy aide at a mental institution, I was out for 3 weeks and when I
went back I was fine. You know your body and how much you can tolerate..just pay attention to your body..it will let you know when enough is enough.

My job is pretty heavy as far as lifting...but I started off slow lifting things..but now I'm back to about the same things I was doing before the surgery.


Good luck! Get it done, this is the best thing you could ever do for yourself!

Hello...sorry for the frustration you are going through and as you can see from all the posts everyone is very different. I was only out 2 weeks from work, but was itching to go back after 1 week, I was bored at home, and going crazy...i believe i had an execptionally easy recovery, i think your attitude has alot to do with it, I was so ready for my new life, and I think that helped alot, my surgery was back in May of '07, and it has not slowed me down but a few days, I was out driving and stopping by the office during my 1st week, and went to a wedding at the end of the week of my surgery...hang in there!

Sounds like you could use a hug!!! Sorry for your frustration. Try and keep positive and remember what is meant to be, will be. I am really sorry to hear about your cat. I have a cat and 2 puppies and I can't imagine life without them. Hang in there and why not call and voice your frustration to your doctor? It can't hurt, ya know? Keep your chin up! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Good Luck. -Kendra
