It is so difficult to wait for the call to come in for the initial interwiew. The wait could be months or even a year, and I only got my referal several days ago. I am so ready now to start the process.

Its hard I chose to take mine slow. Everybody did the workshop in Nov 2007 and most had surgery by Jan 08. I took my time and mine was finished in May 08. What I did was I started to visit the groups various ones and I listened and evaluated it all. I did a lot of educating myself on questions ppl typically forget to ask. I became very close with my surgeon also. Also during this time I started the prep to start my divorce after the surgery. Right now to keep ur mind off of 'when is it gonna be??!!' Find u a group visit many and listen..do ur research understand the process and really educate urself nothing will impress a Dr more than coming in fully educated on the surgery he's going to perform. Know the different types and how they all work. Do you know what kind u may be having:? If u need anything msg me!

There are no groups like that here. Here we go to a rehabilitation program for 5 weeks prior to surgery where we are educated on nutrion, health,, execise and everything related to the surger before, during and after. So there is nothing for me to do untill the call for that comes, all I can do for now is research online and focus on my health. Since rny is the only type available here I know that is the one I will have.

Ok. Well that's a start. If you need help u holler at me anytime day or night!
