November
NOVEMBER HOLY FRIG, I'm super scared that between now and then I'll fall of track and end up having a gain. It's easier going through the program than sitting at home waiting for the call to come. At least you know you're gonna have an appointment and time to talk about issues and diet.
Well everyone wish me luck and I'm hoping the next few months fly by. Come on Fall.

You can either believe it will happen.....or believe it won't. Both are self fulfilled prophesies. For Me it has happened. My Surgery was September 21/2010
By the way how are you doing with your weight loss and all the adjusting to your new life.

Once you are approved you automatically go on the waiting list but we won't receive a call until they are actually ready to book our surgery dates. You can however call and find out where you are on the list and a rough estimate of which month they are going to book you into.
I was approved on the 7th of June. But couldn't stand the wait so I dedided to call today and now I'm disappointed I did but on the upside by then work will be slower and I won't be missing many shift so it all works out well. I'm still crossing my fingers for a few cancellations so I can move up the list faster.

Here's to us maintaining through the summer and whenever we feel defeated or down to remember we're on the homestretch!! Just think- 2011 will be here before you know it and we'll be in the losers bench!!!!!! Woohoooooo!!!!!
Joanne told me today that Dr Birch is only doing one surgery on July 19th and then one more in august, apparently he is going away on holidays, and she also said that they have closed down 2 of the operating rooms so it's making the wait time a little longer. I'm not sure how many he can actually do in a week but Dr. Karmali only does 3.
My sister phoned today also and she has 12 people ahead of her and she's looking at late October, well on the upside I can take care of her and then she can return the favor, or at least thats what I'm hoping for. It might make things more scarey for me after watching her go through it. I'd love it if we had the same dates but that unlikely to happen.
The only think that bothers me about the wait is that other than the Pre-Op class I have no appointments at the clinic and I feel I need something to keep me moviated and sane. I may ask if they can book a phone consult when I'm in the end of the month for my class.

When you go for your pre-op classes ( for me the 1st class had 6 people and the 2nd was just me and Adrianna) you get booked a phone consult with both your dietitian AND RN. You will need to have check ups throughout the summer/fall to see that your on track and they don't want you to slip through the cracks. It gets easy to not have to be accountable for your success. I loved having an appt to see on the scale and show them how well I was doing- I think that really kept me going.
I'm not losing much these days and all I keep thinking about is that my time is coming FAST.
I wonder how may people are ahead of me now? Do you know if it goes by surgery or by whomever has Dr. Birch as a doc. I know that there are some that are at higher risk and I'm sure they go in earlier . Oh well enough dwelling on the uncontrollable stuff.
Joanne did tell me yesterday that sometime people move up the list faster due to others on the list not meeting the criteria or they just have to postpone their surgery until a later date due to all sorts of things. It goes by who ever has Dr Birch for a surgeon cause they are scheduled their o.r. times in advance. She told me Dr Karmali has all his o.r. time slots filled until the end of September so I guess they book pretty far in advance. But on the other hand in the fall they should be re-opening the 2 o.r's that they have closed for the summer so maybe they'll get things moving faster.

Here's hoping that you get a cancellation and just remember you can contact your team at the clinic at anytime and we're all on here to listen and offer tips on what works for us.
