I am pretty much done with my pre-op testing, but need to wait till my 6th month weigh in in December before submitting to insurance. After all is said and done, I am probably looking at surgery in January since my bariatric office is so slowwww with scheduling appts because they're super busy.

Anyone else HATE waiting? I keep seeing posts on here about everyone getting their surgery soon and mine feels years away. Anyone else stuck doing the dreaded 6 month weigh ins?

Yes lets hope and pray

I felt like that then my turn came & I'm on the loser side.

I can't wait for my turn!!

OMGosh I kno what ur goin thru' date=' I 2 also had to do the 6months and I started my journey last October and I was sure that I would have had my surgery by now but im still waiting. Oct 8th is the big day but I start the dreaded liquid diet next month and I gotta do 4 weeks thats what im scared about.[/quote']

Am I the only one who has no specific diet pre op?

I have no pre op diet either.

Nope. My surgeon told me to lose at least 20 pounds pre-op. Period. No weight loss, no surgery. Never even discussed any kind of diet. Just lose the weight. Worked for me - I lost 35 pounds pre-op!!

Ok I'm on the loser side

Feeling pretty good

Ugh...talk about waiting is exhausting! The whole time I've been aiming for surgery in December, because that'll be my last weigh-in...and now my patient advocate tells me I should exoect to have the surgery by January. She tells me insurance usually takes two weeks for a decision and usually a few weeks to get an appt. for surgery since my surgeon is very busy. No fair! I hate waiting. I can't imagine being stuck in this big, painful body till January 2013. Oh well though. At least there's a light at the end of the tunnel =\

I know love its rough. I love this forum but it does seem that since I signed up it is taking forever. I guess reading daily about this one having surgery that one getting out (which I am totally happy and support them) my impatient self is coming through LOL

I know When do you think you'll end up having surgery?

I start my two week liquid diet on Monday- ugh! I went into kitchen today and boxed up everything in cabinets and whatever was not open in the fridge' date=' and gave to friends. I am gonna miss BACON![/quote']

Good luck! Eventually you will be able to have bacon. You just have to worry about the fat on it. I eat turkey bacon which has less fat and it is good.

Hopefully November

That time is really good though I was done with my weigh-ins in March and my surg is Oct 8th. I think no matter when it is if u have been waiting it seems like 4ever, especially if u had to do 6 months weigh-in.
