Im going for my information seminar on May 23. I teach school, and wish I had started this journey earlier so I could have surg this summer. I wasnt betting on the 6 month diet. Im wondering now what dates I should try for? I know the one week off at Thanksgiving wont be enough time. Will the two week break at Christmas be enough time to recover? Next summer? I dont think I can wait a yr.
Talked to my surgeons office today. Today was the first discussion of all the things I have to do before surgery. It seems insurmountable. Also, because I live in The middle of nowhere all of these visits are 90 mi away. Sorry to whine. Just venting and scared.
I was banded about two months before Katrina hit my area. From the very beginning the band was a nightmare. I had it removed exactly two yrs later. Relief. I am now brave enough to start the gastric bypass journey. I have to admit, Im so afraid that it will "feel" like the band.
