Vent! Had my pre-op a week ago, was expecting to get my surgery date this week, however they have postponed all elective surgeries until further notice.

I’m sorry- make sure and thank you unvaccinated friends for this. They are hurting the rest of us in more ways than one.

Luckily all of my friends are vaccinated, but it pisses me off we are back here. I could have been so easy.

Gah! I’m so worried about this!! Where are you located?

Portland, OR :-(

But it’s state wide I think.

Ugh! So sorry! I’m scared for this for myself- I’m day 8 of pre-op diet and surgery is next Thursday if they don’t cancel it. But thankfully my office is a bariatric office that has its own floor/wing in the hospital so those beds there are not “general hospital beds” and not likely to be used for anything else.

I get it, they need the bed space, but I’m bummed about the delay. I know people who were informed of this after they were mostly finished with their two week pre-op fast, I feel for them.

I’m in Texas and my surgery got postponed yesterday. Was supposed to be 8/17 and is tentatively set for 9/28 assuming covid gets under control which I just don’t know 😞

I'm worried about this for sure. They want to try and do mine in December.

I have mine in 2 weeks and I hope it doesn't happen to me but I live in Florida and that guy is fighting everything to keep this state open.
