Dreaded 6/5 month!

I went to my Dr today thinking it was my 6th weight in only to have his office call me later to tell me it was only my 5th appointment and August did not count. I have read other posts of this happening and I always thought "They must be really upset and disappointed." Now I am upset and disappointed. I know it will happen eventually, I have to keep jumping through those hoops, but it is still upsetting.

I know it can be disappointing at times. I am at month 4 of my 6 month "hoop jumping stage". At first I thought I was going to have such anxiety waiting and "jumping", but at this point I think it is probably a good thing that I had more time to speak with more people and to mentally prepare for this big step. I think we should just try to think of this as part of the journey, even though we both want to be there already. Good luck with everything!

I am sorry to hear this for you. I have had my share of delays as well and it is so frustrating. Also, my insurance carrier has changed the requirements twice since late July when I started this process. At one point I had hoped to have my surgery before the end of the year and now I'm starting to think March or April.

It will happen and in the meantime I am trying to stay focused on the lifestyle changes I have been making.

Hang in there!

Thank you both :) I should have reacted differently today instead of getting so upset. My husband said "at least it is only one more month, it could be the whole 6 again." So I should just be happy with the time already served LOL.
