Waiting for approval is driving me bonkers

[Phoenix40 66]

I have completed all the steps and have lost 55lbs and I am just waiting for approval from my surgeon. I know they schedule the surgeries about a month out and there are only two days left for March. I am trying to be patient but IM SO READY! Okay...just needed to vent a little.

I thought I would be having surgery in jan. I finally got my surgery date today and it's March 16th. Way farther out than I hoped but I was going crazy waiting day by day! I kept calling the clinic everyday, I bet she finally worked on my case just to get me off her back! Lol I tried not to be annoying! Now, to get through a whole more month!

Like the person above me said, I was expecting a November surgery date and FINALLY got a date for march 1st. This whole process varies so much and every program is different.

That being said, a lot of the delay was because of my old case worker, since having a new one things have gone pretty quickly.

It'll happen! Beg them lol.

I emailed my surgeon on Friday and dropped by yesterday. The surgeon emailed me yesterday to tell me I was approved and I just have to wait for a date. I will be calling the coordinator tomorrow to check in.
