Tired Of Waiting

I was so excited about starting my journey some time this month but today I received a call from the place where I will be having and they finally explain the process that the doctor first has to look through all my lab work to see if I am a candidate, once that's complete she will send it to be approve for surgery. Here I am thinking I was finally getting closer to my surgery and it's going to take any where from 2-6 weeks. :-( just wanted to vent my frustrations!

Hang on in there it will come sooner than you think. Sometime you have to jump all the huddles to get to the finish line. I have been waiting since Oct. 2010 and finally I will get my day at the end of April.

Even though I understand how you feel but it will get better and the days will fly bye quickly. And we will be sleeved.

Thank you for those kind words they mention probably getting sleeve in April and maybe we can be sleeve buddies :-)

I am in the starting process and I wanted this done like yesterday! I am so very impatient! But I guess I have no choice but to wait :( So I know how you feel!

I think most of us kow how you feel, but think of the others who have been actively pursuing their goal for more than a year or more. It takes time, but it's easier said than done. Patience isn't one of my virtues either!

Thanks and your right I remember in September they told me I had to go through the six month regiment with my primary doctor and how quickly that happen, now just a few more weeks, the point is that I'm going in the right direction.
