MY SURGERY CANCELLATION: WHAT HAPPENED IN MORE DETAIL

2019-10-10 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 15 min

Chantal explains why her scheduled hysterectomy on October 3 was cancelled at the hospital. She recounts arriving on time with family, pre-op preparations (gowns, urine/pregnancy test, warming blanket, pain meds), the surgeon telling her the operating list ran long and she was being sent home without a reschedule or formal discharge, and her frustration about the disruption to her plans. She addresses rumors that the cancellation was due to her weight or that she was faking the surgery, explains she had completed pre-op clearance with anesthesiology and internal medicine, and says she is pressing the clinic to reschedule sooner rather than later.
