  1. Hi guys! Mine is scheduled for Sept 5th. A lil over 2weeks. Sooooooo excited!
  2. I have been having the same problem with my offices surgery coordinator. I know we aren't their only patient, but we all deserve to be treated with respectfully. I had a deadline as well, the surgeon agreed to it and the surgery coordinator gave me a deadline to complete my preop testing. I met that deadline, then called multiple times a day for weeks with no returned call. Finally, when I call and ask to speak with her supervisor my call was returned. I was given a completely different oppinion on my original surgery date. My surgery is now scheduled for more than a month after it was supposed to be requiring me to obtain more help getting my kids to school and picking them up. Stay on them, its your right!
  3. Best wishes on a speedy recovery!
  4. Hooe your stayin strong and hanging in there! You will get through this and be amazing! Prayers!

  10. I had really low Vit D & B12 and I am pre op. Could there be a chance they won't do surgery bc of it? I was taking weekly B12 injections and 15,000iu oc Vit D daily.
  11. Very informative, I actually have really low B12 & Vitamin D levels and have a feeling I will be back to weekly B12 injections post-op.

  17. Wow 70lbs in 10 days? Holy cow thats awesome!
  18. Thanks guys! I actually got very disappointed on Friday. Talked to the surgery coordinator who assured me that I would be scheduled the week of Aug 5-10, informed me that the earliest would be Aug 20, so I will have to wait til hopefully the week before Labor Day. I have to make sure I am available for my kids to start school on Aug. 20, my youngest starts Kindergarten this year and I don't want to miss that milestone. But I am thinking positive and knowing it will be here soon!
  19. I havent really been eating everything, but I haven't really been watching what I eat either. But I don't have an official date yet, though I've been told by Aug. 15
