Sceduling the surgery!
I would contact his office and remind him, I know how the waiting is, I felt the same way when I finished my 6 moth requirement and then had to wait an addtional 5 months months for surgery do to the long wait list . Do not keep waiting contact the doctor or the case manager that is handling all the schedule of your appointments. Good luck my friend and remember the surgery is so well worth the wait.

Can NOT decide between the VSG and RNY! How did you choose
I was going to get the sleeve but hit the rny I didn't want yo have anything permenant in case the sleeve cause severe acid forgoes or gout because once they cut it out it's out, with rny there is a longer history and it can be reverse, I am very please with my decision I was type 2 diabetic, had High chloseterial high blood pressure I went off all meds 3 days after surgery and I fell great I am 6 weeks out and loving life . Good luck trust yourself and listen you our doctor.
