Upset and Frustrated - UPDATE


I received a call this afternoon from my doctor's office. They are postponing my surgery (which was scheduled for May 21) until I have the abscessed tooth taken care of. I go see the oral surgeon on May 20...my antibiotics will be done by that following Saturday. Hopefully they will get me in quickly to get the tooth out. My Lap Band surgeon won't even talk to me until that's done. I don't blame him and I understand why he won't do the surgery until the tooth is out and the infection gone. It's just sooooooooo, depressing. I was so excited and focused and now I feel very lost. I know this is only a minor set back, but it's just frustrating. I know right now they are booking into June for surgeries. I have a feeling it is going to be some time in July by the time I get the tooth taken care of and they set me up again. And...to make it even more "fun," I have been on protein shakes now for 4 weeks to help me lose weight. I got down to where I needed to be, but for the life of me, I'm not sure how much longer I can tolerate the shakes

Okay, deep breaths...this is just a minor set back and it will all be good soon enough. I just had to get it off my chest. Thanks for listening.

I'm so sorry that you are having to deal with this. Can you try to get in with another dentist to get the tooth take care of sooner?

I went to see my dentist yesterday and he sent me to this oral surgeon. I was happy that he was seeing me rather quickly. I just hope he can get me in soon after that to get this tooth removed. It's so frustrating, but I'm glad it manifested now instead of waiting. It could have been very dangerous to have the surgery with an infection in my body. I keep telling myself that anyway.

Maybe the dentist could get you on the cancellation list? Keep your chin up, you can do it

I have a feeling that even though I'm going for my consultation on Tuesday, the oral surgeon is going to want to wait until I'm off the antibiotics to make sure the infection is cleared up before he removes the tooth. Right about now I'm ready to go down into my husband's tool box to find a pair of pliers.
