Bad News......

[MelD]

Hi all,

I was due to have my sleeve op today, and I got to the hospital onyl to be sent home again! I have a been suffering with a chest infection for 1 and a half weeks and I thought it was better - but apparently not! :cry:

I now have to wait to get another operation date and go through the pre-op assessment and diet all over again! Not a happy bunny! :wave_cry:

oh Mel, that's such a shame. it won't be long until your new date comes around, but until then stay positive.

Sorry to hear that your op didn't go ahead. This is obviously for your own good as a chest infection can cause difficulties in breathing for you on your recovery.

I am sure that you will have another date soon. Good luck with this. xx

Oh Mel, I am so sorry to hear your bad news but it is better to be in good health when you have your op, it is a real pain that you have to go through the pre op diet again.

Keep your chin up, you can do it and it will all be worth it in the end

Gosh Mel, you must be gutted, honey ... :cry: But ... you need to give yourself the best opportunity of coming through the op safely & chest infections are not safe when intubating. Really feel for you, sweetie xxx :wave_cry:

I am so sorry but on the positive side it is better to be safe than sorry , it is so easy for chest infections to hinder your recovery your time will come again x

oh mel i really am truely sorry after all your hard work with the pre op diet. dont get to dissapointed like a few have mentioned a chest infection while going under can be really dangerous when you are wakeing up, you stay strong as we are all here for you hunny.

This is awful news for you, but your recovery would have beens severely hindered and they just wont take the risk.

Maybe it worth contacting them and asking to go on the cancellation list, they have already done the pre ops etc so they might have something earlier for you.

Chin up, there's plenty of room over here on the losers bench and we'll keep it warm for you

Its a shame that a pesky infection held things up but its for the best as it would only have put you at greater risk. When I get chesty problems/colds etc I take multivitamins and zinc (boosts immune system) and follow all usual advice such as keep warm/drink plenty fluids and let body do its job. Might not hurt to have a chat with GP especially if its a productive cough.
Hope you recover and get new date soon.
