Starting To Become Discouraged...

Hello everyone, I started my Journey back in September. I went to all my seminars and my Doctor appointments and finally got a date of 11-14-2011. Which was later changed due to one other test my Doc wanted me to do. So I was rescheduled for Surgery which should of been 11-30-2011. Now just to be certain my Doc wants me to see one other Specialist so now I have to reschedule again. Has anyone else been through this. Everything is approved just waiting on my Doctors clearance. She has all the time in the world to schedule me for any type of Doctors she wants me to see. But she always waits to the last minute to do it and I am soooo Ready. Starting to think that it is not going to happen.

Took me 7 months to get through the wickets...didn't really "mind", felt I needed the time to get my head on straight before they started fixing my tummy...

Looking back on it, it felt like it happened very quickly, so don't get disappointed...I am sure anything your doc is asking for is only for your safety and protection!!

Hang in there guys! It will happen for you. It's a very stressful time, with all the anticipation and all the tests, appointments etc. Hoping you get good news soon!!! Fingers crossed for you!!!!!

Don't know what happened to my last post. As I stated It's not that I am rushing, I just feel that she has enough time to get these test done besides waiting until a few days before. That is what annoys me. Especially because I have to keep doing this dam diet. I am hungry....
