Just My Luck!!
Current mood: pissed off!
Of all the 365 days in a year- he picks mine!
I was really looking forward to having my bariatric gastric bypass surgery on my deceased mother's birthday- June 4th.
I was informed a couple weeks ago that the surgeon has a chance to go to a seminar in Wisconsin and might be gone on that day.
I called in today to check up with my bariatric counselor and was informed that he is, indeed, attending the conference and will not be able to do my surgery on June 4th!
I am so, so, so freakin’ upset! It meant more to me than anyone could ever understand to do it on that day!
I even started my Chantix to stop smoking by May 4th, to be smoke free for a month for the surgery… and beyond of course.
I guess I’ll be having surgery the week of June 9th now.

My mom passed in "06 and I know how important certain dates can be. Also, the surgery is a very big deal...good luck with it. My brother had it done several years ago. I know how much of a difference it can make in your life. Keep with the chantix and your quest to stop smoking -- this is also a good thing you are doing.

emmybeansmommy Apr. 28, 2008 at 11:54 AM: I'm so sorry Mary. I know how much this meant to you and how excited you were. I agree with the other mommy who wrote "maybe you are meant to celebrate your mom's birthday another way". Maybe post a topic in our group to get ideas. We can all brain storm and think of something really special! I Love You Girl! *Mwah*
