Hope to have wls in April/ May 2014. That is when my 6 mnths diet with nutritionist will be done. Just seems soooooo far away. I just want to get the surgery over with..maybe I'm realllly nervous about it, never had major surgery before. I only had 2 cesarean section. Wish I could fast forward time.

I am in the same boat, okay without the cesarean section part. I finish my 6 months of weight loss classes in April and was told my surgery could be in June.

I've had three C-sections. The sleeve was MuCH easier for me.

I haven't been sleeved yet but csections are considered major surgery and from what I've read recovery is much easier. I'm probably looking at about the same time frame to save up the money to get my sleeve done.

I've had c-sections, gallbladder out and tubes tied. Absolutely no issues with those. I'm hoping this isn't any worse. I know many people have this surgery as an out-patient procedure and many are hospitalized for several days. My dr is usually a one-night stay barring any complications. I already know that I get very nauseated due to anesthesia and I'm allergic to the adhesives on steri-strips and most bandages/tapes. I'm just hoping like heck this goes as smoothly as my sister's did. It was easy as pie.

I'm hoping the same. I counted 12 times I have been in th OR. I've done well each time. A few of those times I didn't know anything about the surgeon besides their name prior to the surgery as they were not planned procedures.

Sorry double post

Just finish my 6mth visits last week ... the time goes by really fast...its really a major decision to have the surgery that extra time is good for you to mentally prepare for the surgery. Im nervous now lol ..its getting very real.

Congratulations Freezyfree on finishing up your 6 month visits! I am in month 2 of the 6 months. How soon were you able to schedule your surgery after you completed your 6 month visits? Thanks!

I haven't scheduled yet. I got my psych eval last week also and the psychologist told me she'll have it written this week ..sooo hopefully tomorrow all of my stuff will be turned in to insurance. I was told to expect a date for late January early feb. Due to the holidays. .. and waiting on insurance approval. .. try to get ur psych eval and pcp letter out of the way so all u wont have to worry about it at the end. ..and thx! Ive been trying to get the ball rolling since April its been a loong road

Thanks Freeze! I'm not too familiar with the pcp letter. I will email my pcp to see if I need one. :0) Good luck on keep us posted on your progress!

Im totally with you. I finish up my classes on May 1st, so Im hoping to have surgery in June. But it does seem so far away. I was hoping that the Christmas holiday would make it seem like it was going by quick...but it's slow as ever. I know the reflection time is good, but I really feel like I just want to get my life started already!!

Although I didn't have a wait time, due to being self pay, I did have to wait 6 months before surgery. I decided at the end of June I wanted to have the surgery. By the time I had all of my classes, pre op appointments, it was the beginning of November. I was scheduled the first Monday of December. The time FLIES by. I was actually happy for the time, I was able to really think about this (even though I had thought about it for a few years), and really start making the changes I would need after surgery. When your surgery gets here, you won't believe how fast the time has gone!

My surgery date will be about June, and time is really moving slow. I expect after holidays that time will speed up and Spring will be here and a new life will begin. A summer with out sweat pants will be great. In the mean time I am pre op dieting and making the changes in eating before surgery. Need to lose 30 pounds before June, should be easy.

Updates please! Ladies how are u progressing? I'm on my 8th month..long story..couldn't make the weigh in but finally my papers are submitted and I'm waiting on the approval. my surgeon says he can get u in in 2-4 weeks...and his only additional requirement beyond the Kaiser 6 months is for u to attend a nutritional class with his nutritionist. Then we can schedule, I want April 24.
