Patiently waiting - NOT

Well this is my first blog and I am only partially through with the pre-surgery gook. I am now up to my psych evaluation - about a week and a half to go for that. And I am terrified they will say I am not mentally equipped to have the surgery. Not sure why, I am pretty sure I am sane, but still nervous.

 

For those of you who have been through all this, what type of time frame am I looking at until the actually surgery date. I know you can't give exact times, but ballpark would be nice.

 

This is moving alot slower than I thought it would and I am just impatient.

This is my first also! I completed my last test on 23rd of Feb and got my call last week I was ready to schedule! My surgery is 27th of March! When I hung up the phone I didn't cry, but I sobbed with tears of JOY! I am so excited, full of questions and decided to look up a chat line to discuss some of my questions! I hope you do well. It will be scheduled before you know it. I really pushed through all the test in a matter of 3 weeks! It was hard but I have a great boss!

Hi,

This is my first blog also. I am scheduled for surgery on Monday and I started my whole process in January of 2008. So it took me a yr. and two months. It would have been sooner, but at first I had trouble losing the weight I needed to lose on WW and then I tried Adkins and did fine and got more then the percentage I needed before surgery. All the rest of itSeminar, PMD visits, Surgeon visit and nurtitionist, psych visit, were done in a matter of like 6 mos. After I lost the weight; then I just had to do all my preop testing and physical exams and meet with the clinical nurse, and my PMD and then the NP.
