patiently/Impatiently Waiting



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Just as my topic says i am patiently/impatienly waiting I started my journey with my first Dr. appt on 4/4/14 and my insurance required 3 months diet with Nutritionist which i finally completed on 7/16/14

Now Im just waiting for them to schedule my surgery. Call me crazy but Im ready to get this over with and get down to the nitty gritty. anyone else out there waiting for scheduling or have any idea how long it generally take to get scheduled one released by nutritionist.

Everything seems to be moving in slow motion, doesn't it? Hang in there!

I feel the same way!!! I had my medical clearance through Kaiser on the 16th of July and haven't gotten the call to meet with my surgeon. I'm so anxious.. especially because most of the people I went to the class with have had or are already scheduled for their surgery. . Sucks!!!:/

I keep swinging back and forth between "let's get this party started!" and "I am glad this process takes a while so it can sink in more before I actually go through this." All this swinging is making me dizzy!

I am almost done with my requirements then I get to wait for approval & to be scheduled too. I am sure I will be a lot more impatient then!

I am playing the waiting game right now but I have not even been able to have an initial consultation with the surgeon yet. I faxed paper work to the office last week so that I can get the process rolling. I called them today and they told me that they received my fax and they will be calling me the middle of next week to schedule my appointment. Why they could not schedule it while I was already on the phone, I have no idea. I want this process moving.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
