Hello all, Boy I tell you when it rains it pours. Yesterday I told you all that my surgeon left the practice and I would have to see another surgeon in the same practice. Well as of last night my surgery date is on hold again. The surgeon's office RN says that my sonogram shows elevated liver levels. So now I have to go back to my gastro doctor and have him read this sonogram and make a determination if I can be cleared for surgery or he may need ti run further tests. What annoys me the most is that they had the sonogram results since January. Why when they sent me to the gastro Doctoe from my EGD they didn't request a re-evaluation of my liver. I'll tell you why they dropped the ball and never noticed. So now I am held up again and very fustrated and angry. Sorry to be so long winded but I appreciate the chance to vent. Thanks for all your support please keep it coming.

Julian...Keep your chin up sweetie!!!!! Meet with the new Doc and see what you think, if they just aren't up to snuff then change over to the original surgeon. You will be dealing with this person for a while and If you don't feel comfy, it would be worthwhile to postpone. I can be a "long distance angel" if you need one;)!!! BIG HUGS!!!!!

04/02/03 - Hello to all, I have just been dealt a somewhat disappointing blow from my surgeons office. My Surgeon Dr. Jerzy Macura has left the practice as of last Friday. When I first met with him he was great. He was forthcoming with information and explained everything and answered all of my questions. Now going for my before surgery appointment I will have to meet another doctor who will be the primary surgeon and another who will assist him/her. Dr Macura is now in practice alone. So my problem is do I have all my stuff transferred to DR.Macura or do I just stay where I am. The other Doctors in the practice I have been told are also very excellent doctors. So if I wasn't nervous before, I am on the verge of freaking out now. My surgery date is still not finalized ut will be in the beginning of May. So now on top of everything else I now have to make a decision that may or may not affect my surgery. I am not comfortable right now. The kicker is if I go with my original Doctor, Macura, I might not even get to see him until June. So surgery would then be put off until sometime over the summer. This is the last thing I needed. As I have asked before if anyone would like to volunteer as my Angelmplease do so I really need the support. Thanks for listening to me vent, this board is so great.

Hello all, I have some great news. I jumped my final hurdle last night. My Pulmonary Doctor is going to clear me. No more tests for me. Now will be waiting for my surgeon to give me a date. Now I think the nerves and maybe second thoughts are going to start kicking in big time. But I will do my best to control my emotions. Thanks to those who have posted to my surgery page, your words are an inspiration Tracy Workman and Maria S. I will post agian when I get my date or if I start to Freak out.
