Gonna be a LONG month

Well I have everything done. Been approved by insurance, seen the dr. Now I have to wait till Oct 9th to see the nutritionist ughhh why so long?? I'm ready to start this adventure. I know it will be worth it but this is going to be the longest month ever!!! They said as soon as I see the nutritionist then they will set up surgery but wow another month to wait as you can tell I'm ready for this.

I'm a pest, I'd be calling every morning to see if there are any cancellations! LOL

It seems forever, but it gives you time to prepare. To research fun recipes you can make when you're on post op liquids/mushy. You'll find ways to pass the time!

Find out why. Does the nutritionist have no other free appointments? Ask them if you can call every couple days to ask if there was a cancellation. Do they space the appointments out that way for a reason? I would ask if there is anything sooner.

Thanks I think Tuesday I will call and ask, maybe if I continue they will get me in sooner lol. I'm just ready for this and having to wait a month for the nutritionist sucks. I know my dr just moved to different off ice and hospital so that may be the reason but a whole month geez lol I'm so impatient.

A lot of insurances companies are requiring a 6 mos dr supervised weightloss program( at least mine did) and I have been waiting since last January!!!! Soon it will be a year and I still have no scheuled date for the service

am not prepared for what's to come. How ever ready all of these post keeps me motivated.
