Waiting for it to be real

By PhatmanWalkin

· 400 views

I have found myself being a bit restless in waiting for my date to be set by my surgical team. Because my surgery is in May, I don't even know if they will set it up before March. I find that I am almost running up the maillady and saying, DID IT COME??? LOL!

I dunno, just thinking that I would feel it would be more "REAL" if I had the letter in hand with a set date. I am doing well losing weight, slow but sure and it is staying off.

I feel good about my decision and am glad to see so many satisfied "sleevers".

Some day in the near future, my time too will come. :001_tt2:

    The waiting period was excruciating for me as well. The office manager/scheduler at my surgeon's office even made a comment how everyone wants it scheduled and done yesterday. You're on your way. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll get your date soon.

    Thanks DeeDee and Erika. It is hard to wait. I am like a kid at Christmas running through the house trying to find my presents early and peek. Good luck on a date, Erika, sooner the better =)
