Ok so I went to do my final nutrition apt and exercise appt this morning. Then afterwards I jaunted over to the Dr office for my second weigh in. At the end of my allotted 5 minutes. (Ok it was longer but feels like just 5) he says ok let's get this submitted to the insurance and get you scheduled.

Ok sounds normal right! But the surprise was that I thought I had another month of weigh ins! I looked at him confused and said huh. That's not right. Well they count the first visit as month one of the weigh in.

I had a holy crap moment this is going to happen really fast. It's like going to a vacation spot you always wanted to go.... London, Paris and you plan for it but it's just planning until you actually get on the plane and it's real. And it's gonna happen fast. Two weeks for ins approval. 10 days for pre op liquid diet and 10 days for any possible delays. Scheduled my surgery for November 4.

On a really funny and dry humor side I'm thinking if how much money I'm going to save during the holidays cause I'm not gorging on huge feasts.

My surgery is scheduled for November the 4th too. I'm having bypass done in Virginia at Fair Oaks Hospital. Congratulations on getting your date.

Thank you. It really surprised and caught me off guard.

Hi micmt

Be very happy your doctor is right on point. I had finish everything by the end of March and didn't get a date until Aug. I thought by now I would be well on my way instead of just getting started. So congratulations and yeah it's getting real.
