Well, just about two months to the day since my seminar and a brief visit with the surgeon, the right medical records were sent by the right person to the right person. In other words, after much effort by my husband and I, the surgeon has what he needs to make a decision about whether or not he will do WLS on me! But, of course, the first I can get in to see him is July 8. But, after already waiting for two months, I guess that is not bad. At least I will know if I will have surgery or not.

I haven't posted in a while. I decided to "forget" about surgery till I know if it is a go or not. I haven't lost any more weight but have maintained what I HAVE lost. I just can't seem to get going again. This has been going on for a week. I have NO idea what to do. And what if I can't have surgery? How will I ever get all this weight off.....I am afraid discouragement is reigning supreme in my heart and mind right now.

I wondered what had happened to you! Well at least things are moving now. Try to stay positive and don't give up what you have already lost. You did well so far and I really hope that everything works out and you can have your surgery.

I am thinking about you and will say a prayer for you!

Keep us posted please.

Have faith this will happen. Sometimes it happens in its own time and sometimes it is when it is supposed to happen and not when we want. Hang in there and keep us posted. Sending prayers your way for approval...

I waited 4 months, and I know others who waited far longer (in Canada they wait years). I know that doesn't make it any easier, but at least know that waiting is pretty much part of the game. Whether for medical reasons, insurance reasons, or personal reasons, most of us had to wait. Hang in there. I know it's going to work out for you! Keep us posted!

i know i put off the thought of this surgery for at least two years and now i have to wait 5 months and then i get schedualed for a date im supper excited its only been a week on the nuts plan but i've already lost 8 pounds
