I know it seems like December is a ways off but really it's just less then two months away. I finalized my surgery date yesterday for Dec. 5th with Dr. Kuri. So are there any others out there with December dates looking for support and help?

Can some one help me with all those people you come in contact with who are just plain nosey.

My wife struggles with that all the time in a big company where she has been for 30 years. People who aren't even close are really pushy with their questions. I've been considering all kind of smart @ss answers "I'm on the Fribbleman diet, you should try it and walk away" (insert any meaningless word for fribbleman. Perhaps the MYOB diet?. I was also considering saying my wife put an invisible fence around the refrigerator and I don't have a key to take off this darn collar.

Wow so many people set for December. I am Scheduled for December 19. I can't wait excited to start a new phase of a healthier life.

I just spoke to Dr. Kuri's office today and I am considering to book my appt for the first week of December as well. Have you got any feed back on him from this site?

Hopefully! I've completed all my pre-op testing - just waiting to hear from my insurance company. My surgeon is confident that I'll get scheduled for December. Hooray!!

Hi Pete,

I'm about to make my appointment with Dr. Kuri. I'll see if Dec. 5 is available for another person. It would be fun to email in the days before we go. Nancy

I was part of the november thread but just found out my surgery postponed until Dec 8th. Feeling really disappointed at the moment.

december is fast approaching, so keep positive it will all work out in the end, I believe there are always reasons for something and I feel that it must have been a very good reason for you not having it on your original date. Did they say why it was postponed? and what date were you originally supposed to have your surgery...

It was supposed to be Monday. My surgeon has had an emergency who needs the surgery more than i do. I understand these things happen but i'm still disappointed.

Nope, I just made my appointment with Dr. Kuri. My surgery is going to be December 1. Anyone else out there have the same date with him?

That's great that you are going to Dr. Kuri. To bad we're not the same day but still the same week.

Just for anyone wondering about Medical Tourism and going to Mexico for surgery here is a news article that CBS channel 13 in Sacramento did about the Good and the Bad sides. Dr. Pedro Kuri was shown as the good side to medical tourism. cbs13.com - CBS13 Investigates: Surgery South Of The Border

I am so excited I found out last Friday that I have a December 8th surgery date! It is also my boyfriends birthday! I am very nervous about the holidays. I am on the protien supplement diet for Thanksgiving and most of Decemeber! Good Bye to my Christmas See's Candy and hello to a Healthy New Year!

I thought things were looking great for December 31th but got moved to January 8th. And this is final. Whoooohooo.

Oops!! I meant December 2 with Dr. Kuri, not December 1.

:w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t::w00t:WWOOOHOOOO!! I FINALLY got insurance approval and a surgery date!!! I cant believe it!!! After 9 months of wondering and waiting, its really going to happen!!!! My surgery is on DECEMBER 3 and I am on "Cloud 9". I cant seem to stop thinking about how good we are going to be looking. :thumbdown::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I'm having my surgery dec 8th. with Dr. Ortiz, what a way to end this year and start a new one. Did you have an upper GI, I didn't ,is that done with pre-op?
