I was all geared up and ready mentally as much as I could be to go, my op was tomorrow 27th, just had a call and because they need a repeat sleep apnia test it has been re booked for 11th July, I'm so disappointed as the reason the 1st test was inconclusive was the equipment was faulty. Ah well it could be worse only another 2 weeks to wait, on the plus side I've now got a chance to take another 4/5 pounds off in readiness for the op .

    Hi there's always a good side to a bad result, losing a couple more pounds will help after with having to support your weight when your not able to bear weight.

    It will soon pass and then you will be laid up having to watch TV etc and be waited on hand and foot, is that right??? Get you toenails done as well before cause you will struggle after to do them and its nice to see pretty toes after.

    Go out and buy yourself some pretty PJs to chill in as well

    Dear Ann

    How very frustrating for you. At least it will give you time to do those additional things!

    Cheers Richard

      I know, there's always a plus side and it could have been so much longer than 2 weeks which is also a bonus.x

    That's such a shame Ann, but you've put a positive spin on your op being cancelled and every pound counts, definitely treat yourself again too smile
