because I have to save up and pay I have to wait until December to have surgery. But I'm still so excited my dream is in sight and I can barely contain myself. I try not to talk to much about the surgery because i don't want my fellow coworkers getting sick of listening to me but i feel like I could burst with excitement.

My last dietician appointment is November 26th so they said if I'm approved I'm looking at a December surgery

My last dietitian appointment is November 5 an then we can submit to insurance. My dr told me that my surgery will be in December!

And look everybody its already September we're getting closer by the day. Yaaaaaaahhhhh

So I got my date 12/23/13. Before x-mas my gift to myself lol

I was hoping for 12/23 but it looks like my doctor's office is going to be pretty barren that week. They said if they decide they'll be doing surgeries that week they will move my date from 12/16 to 12/23. As of right now 12/23 is my one week follow up appointment.

Hi December ladies and gentlemen. I'm coming from the October group. Bummed that I have to wait 8 more weeks, but I'm starting a new job and just couldn't do the time off. I work at a community college so as soon as exams are done...hola Tijuana !

I started teaching at a CC this semester and that's why I'm looking at a December date - gotta love the nice break between semesters. My last exam is the 11th (or is it the 12th?) surgery is scheduled for the 16th and the Spring semester starts 1/16. So I'm hoping that's plenty of time to recuperate. Plus, my husband has 2 weeks off at Christmas time so he will be able to take good care of me

My job is busiest before Christmas and new projects starts beginning of January. I'm hoping to use the holidays for recovery as well.

My last dietician appointment will be mid-November. Should be able to submit shortly thereafter and hopefully get approval in 2 weeks from then. Looking like December, for me too!

Best.Christmas.Gift.Ever.

Ugh I need to lose 11 more pounds by nov 26th. It seemed like a long time but trying to lose more than what I already have lost is difficult. I keep losing and gaining now >.<

I have my first appointment on Tuesday and I've been told my supervised diet will last for 3 months. Hoping for late December as my wife will be off for the holidays. It may end in January though.

So I got my date 12/23/13. Before x-mas my gift to myself lol

. Yah I'm so happy for you. I've got mine scheduled for Dec 7th now and I can't wait. Some days I get a little nervous and wonder will this really work for me? And will I get fat again? But I think that comes with our territory and past failures. So I'm going to continue to think positive and jump this cliff that's holding me back from being healthy. And Dec can't get here soon enough.

Hello Everyone,

I am hoping for a December surgery. All I have left are 3 more weigh in's, then it's up to my insurance for approval. I am really hoping that this comes through. My Dr. told me to come into the office after my November weigh in and speak with the scheduler to book it. I am ready for the change!!!! Good luck everyone here is to a fabulous new 2014 for us!
