Post-Poned

Jan 23, 2010

Ok, so those of you who read the boards may know already, but for those who don't.... I was post-poned. 

It wasn't because I didn't lose my pre-op weight or because I did something that I shouldn't have, but it was more about my meds for colitis.  I am taking a corticosteroid.  Apparently, steroids make your tissues "flimsy" and that is not good when it comes to surgery.
Of course, I broke down and cried.  I begged.  I pleaded.  I even tried to make a deal, but Dr. Ben-David wouldn't budge on his decision.  I respect him so much for that.  He said he didn't want to take that chance with my health.  I am glad he is not a surgery whore who would just cut you open just to get paid. 

So, now I am stuck without really knowing when I will have surgery.  I never thought that I would be approved and sitting around with no date.  I actually never thought I would ever be approved! 

You know - now it makes me wonder if this is a sign that I shouldn't have surgery at all.....hmmmm - great - something else to burden my mind!!!
