MY SURGERY WAS CANCELLED!

Nov 15, 2011

   Wow im am just beyond frustrated. I seriously hate the hospital I chose for my precedure, but its to late in the game to switch it up, but God only knows why these thing occurs. Yesterday they called to schedule me in for surgery at 8:45am and then they called to change the time to 11:00am which i thought was weird, but whatever what can i do. Then this early morning as i was getting ready, i received the call.
   My surgery had been canceled. After crying about it, I realized my big mistake in choosing this hospital. After some investigation (i called my insurance), it was explained to me that the proper papwework was not submitted in due time. I mean, before you schedule anyone for surgery, one would think that all the pperwork was cleared, right? umm no. apparantly they will schedule, make go through 2 dayd of liquids and laxtives, even when theres no concrete clearence. I am so mad at the staff. My whole family has cancelled whatever they were doing to see me in the hospital and I had to call them ll to tell them the bad news. Talk about dreaful. it sucks when your ready for something so nerve wrecking like surgery, and then to be told it wasn't happening. I was a little relieved, because i wasn't looking forward to being in pain, but MORE UPSET because I cannot stand this unprofessionalism. I feel trapped. I am not working or in school because I thought I would be in surgery recovery for over a month, so it was pointless to go this semester, but time is ticking for the next, and the hospital keeps postponing my surgery date. I swear I'm so over them. I was told to call my Primary DR bout the clearence letter, but i couldnt reach her today. I gave all my paperwork in time, followed all the procedures, followed my diet, I put in my work, WHY COULDN'T THEY DO THE SAME. incompetence. 
   I spoke to th insurnce company and they sid they would call me and the hospital staff will call me to. I was told the 17th is the NEW date, but we'll see. 
   4 days of liquids is hardcore. I feel hella fatigued and HUNGRY! I mean ive herard of people being denied for surgery  for not losing the weight, but to be cancelled because of some clerical error the day of? DONE!
