Yes she is but I think it's also because they are a little disorganized. When I wrote the email I was told that they had it ready and forgot to contact me. I picked them because my friend had started the process and mentioned how great everyone was but the same happened to her she had to wait and wait and she just got discouraged and stoped all together. Stay on top of them!

Hi there! I was sleeved at Monte on 1/18/17. Even if it means calling EVERY DAY, multiple times, stay on top of them! My process was elongated an extra 2 months because of their disorganization. I also filed several complaints through their customer service, which does reach the coordinators of the bariatric program. My surgery went amazingly well so no need for worry there, but definitely be persistent on the administrative end.

Best of luck!

I was the same way and then my date got moved up a week so I really couldn't stop thinking about it! Just stick to your pre op diet and you'll do great, good luck!

Good luck with everything! I'm excited for you. My surgery is on April 13th. Today is day 2 of my liquid diet. Not bad at all. I started a few weeks ago on liquids all day and 1 meal for supper. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Wishing you the best!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
