I GOT A SURGERY DATE!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

April 14th I'll be sleeved by Dr. Enrique Elli at Mayo Clinic!

This seemed like the longest process ever.. started on January 4th, and now it's just two weeks away.

I start my Optifast liquid diet tomorrow. I know it'll be miserable, but I'm going to hold onto the idea that I don't care because I HAVE A DATE!!

Congrats! Looking forward to reading about your experience!

YAY!!! It's going to fly by and you are going to do GREAT!

I just met my surgeon last week. I go back for a follow up, nutrition counseling and the psychological next week.

I'm hoping to get a surgery date shortly after.

Best of luck to you!!

Congratulations! That's actually not that long really. I know a lot of people that have to go through a 6 month weight loss program before their insurance will pay. I started my journey meeting my surgeon in July, starting my weight loss program in late August and I am having my surgery finally on Friday April 1! That is nearly 9 months!

Very happy for you though!!

@@KELLIEDN I know it wasn't actually that long, not for a life-altering process. But it still seemed so to me

Congrats! I started back in October with my seminar. May is my last nut. visit, hoping for a June surgery date. Then I'll be happy dancing right along with you!

I get it! I bet it seems like forever to everyone!

That's fantastic!!!!

Hang in there, the preop diet is truly the suckiest part of the whole process, especially when you just want to be done with all the "pre" song & dance and just want your surgery date to get here, already.

Congrats!!!!!

Honestly, now that I have my date I'm a lot calmer now. I have so much to do to prepare (work, school projects, finals, trip this weekend, my birthday, my side business), that I think I will be content these next two weeks. I am a planner!

Woohoo! I'm doing the happy dance for you as well! I'm just starting and am currently at my initial consultation. Hopefully I will be doing the same dance shortly for myself as well!
