My surgery was cancelled and I am seeking a new surgeon. I am hoping to have surgery in May or June.

Hi Gail! Best wishes for a non-eventful surgery & a pain free recovery. Soon you'll be a big LOSER like the rest of us...lol. See you on the other side! God bless & take care.

HI Gail, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!! Sorry to hear about the dr not doing the surgery anymore- maybe he will do just the ones he has scheduled already. I hope you find out good things monday. I got bad news too - I went for pre ops last wed and was told I cant have surgery as my oxygen level is too low. I was in SHOCK! I went to my Pulmonary/sleep apnea dr this morning and he said it wasnt low- He said 92 is not low- then i tested 95 at his office. The surgeon wants me to have a trach done but my pulmonary dr thought that was kind of extreme. I do wear a bipap and cant tolerate it- i rip it off when i get to sleep. I got a new full face mask today so I will try and keep it on. I want this surgery to breathe and live longer but i cant have it because I cant breathe- catch 22 huh? Geeh, if things werent so complicated!! God Bless you and I know it will turn out fine for u. De :)

Gail--I'm so sorry to hear about what has happened (on your birthday no less). Don't give up, see if your surgeon can reccomend another. I can understand the frustration you must be feeling.

Gail - so sorry to hear your news about your surgeon - what a birthday present! But, I still wish you a very happy birthday, because this will happen, might be later than what you want, but it will happen! I'm exactly 8 months behind you, I'll turn the big 5-0 on 12/11.

I'm sorry about the sad news on your birthday. I'm praying that Monday your surgeron will reconsider your case and go ahead and do your surgery for you.

While I'm not a pro with this stuff, I would recommend you get your original surgeon's office to transfer you and your information to another

Gail- I'm 19days pre-op and I know exactly how you feel. I can't cocentrate and go constantly between excited to scared to death. I keep trying to focus on the reasons why I'm doing this. Feeling better, getting rid of some medical conditions and medications. Making life easier to move around in. When I focus on those things it seems to help

The days ahead of you are full of great possibilities--and life's great unknowns. But the good news is that God holds tomorrow in His hand, and in His unending faithfulness gives you not only strength for today, but bright hope for tomorrow. God bless you as you embark on this new path for health and happiness. Our prayers are with you for a successful surgery and a full recovery!
