Dang it!

So I went to the ER last night and found out that I have a UTI. They told me that it should not effect my surgery today. So we drove to the hospital this morning and the doctor cancelled because of it....
I have another appointment to schedule a surgery date again but with a different surgeon because my surgeon that was going to do this surgery is deploying. I am happy but frustrated. The happy part is next time I should only have to do the 2 week liquid diet instead of 4 weeks. Also I can eat food again and enjoy it lol. I am still not going over board with the food because I lost 50 pounds during the liquid diet and I don't want to gain it back. Atleast  I can eat chicken which I love. I am frustrated because I really wanted to get the surgery done so I can be over with it and not be nervous about the surgery. I guess it is better to be safe than sorry UTI and surgery together would be horrible.

 Actually your timing is pretty good. Getting a UTI soon after surgery would be bad, too. Good for you for getting taken care of promptly.

Yeah that is what the doctor said also. I knew there was something wrong and that is why I went to the hospital. I am glad that I did too. It would have been bad to have it after I am sure. I am kinda sad because I may have to wait 2 months but oh well such as life lol. I will eventually get it done. Maybe I can lose even more weight before surgery that would be nice.

you are down 50 lbs. Congrats! Best of luck with your surgery

Thank you

Better to cancel and be safe.  Hang in there!  

ask to be put on a list if someone cancels unless you need more notice

 If it makes you feel any better, I had a UTI after a surgery, and it was possibly the most painful horrible thing I ever experienced, with only one exception which I won't go into here.   I'd rather get hit by an SUV while I was crossing the street for a second time.

The nurse told me that if someone does cancel that I will be bumped up on the list. I was lucky that I took notice of my pains from it. I could only imagine how painful it would be for people that it happened to after surgery.
