    Advice needed for a pre op!

    Thank you Emmsie, that was an awesome and thorough response! We have the same to lose also although my BMI is 40 so I'm a little shorter than you but its great to see you're doing so well under similar physical circumstances to mine. I have a few appointments set up now but one of them will take about 5 months until it will actually be done and the place I really want to go with won't be open until next week! I have a booking with one I'm not actually sure I'll even go with but they will do it begining of March. Obviously this is a popular time of year to be done - new years resolutions and all! Please keep us informed of how you're doing - its great to hear everyone's stories no matter how trivial the details may be - its just so great to know you're in the same boat as so many people out there! Thanx again, and good luck! Shaggs

    Advice needed for a pre op!

    Hi and thank you SOOOO much for your excellent informative reply! Good luck for the 4th Feb (thats my birthday so that may be a good omen!) You must be so excited! Your costing info was excellent and I agree, cost is nothing compared to knowing you have the best care you can get but I have no one to recommend me although I have heard some doctors names mentioned around the place. What does the cost mean anyway compared to the benefits? And how easy is it to eat $2000 worth of food? Think of the money we'll be saving!!!!!! Loved the bit about the drinking too, I was worried about that because maybe 3 or 4 days out of 7 i drink at least 10 drinks and could easily down a bottle of scotch in a binge session (and then some!) ahhh thats the joy of compensating for happiness with alcohol! So it will be interesting to see how that goes although food is my drug alcohol is just a secondary thing for me and I can go without if necessary. the Optislim freaks me right out, more than anything else that will be a killer!!!!! So how long was it for you from the time you had your first appointment to surgery? I look forward to hearing from you, thank you so much for getting in touch, greatly appreciated! Shannon
