Im a Kaiser peep, using the South Sac location. My surgery date was changed from 10/2 to 11/6 due some health issues. But Im clear to go now and just have one last dr appointment for my post op diet class. Is anyone else in November or have kaiser? I had lots of peeps on my October list but now I have a new date and would love to have some others to follow along with and share our journeys..

I finally got approved on Friday! woohoo!!!

going to call the surgeon this morning to find out my definite date. still hoping they'll get me in for 11/4. wish me luck!

Good luck! I hope you get 11/4 (that is my date also !)

oh, @@Summer Rain, i would have loved to have had you as a surgery buddy, but i just got off the phone with them and they said 11/4 is already booked. they will call me later today to give me the definite date. i'm very bummed. i hate waiting for anything!!!

Congrats on getting your date. My date is Nov. 5. Have you started your pre-surgery date yet?

I'm sure it will be soon. I started my pre surgery diet today. It is not easy.

Well november 7 for me.. on liquid diet right now.. so far so good!! Lets see in a few days lol

I've been very open with everyone about my surgery and they've all been super supportive. Everyone at work knew that I've been stressed about my pre-op appointment today because I hadn't lost the full 38lbs the doctor required (I was 3lbs shy yesterday). So when I came to work after my appointment, they were all anxious to find out. It was such a great feeling knowing how much these guys are rooting for me. :-)

Then to make it even better, my District Manager, who I just saw last week, came in right before we closed. I came out of the back and he immediately commented on how he could really tell I've lost weight. Totally made my evening.

One more week!!!

That's fantastic that you have so much support. I don't feel that much support would be given from my coworkers so i choose to only tell a few. I do have immense support from my sig. Other however. He will and has been there every step of the way.

I hope you don't have to wait long! I agree waiting is just a waste of our time lol
