Another appointment
Well I had another appointment with Dr. Sampath yesterday and all is well. He did explain that with the new funding they will be doing a bariatric surgery every Monday from October to April. He is still expecting that my surgery will be in October and that I should get a call from his office in the next few weeks with an actual date, they are just waiting for the hospital to finalize their OR allocations.
I also had an appointment with Nooshin, that went OK. The only bad news there was that I gained 4 pounds (I am pretty sure that it is not actual fat gain bu****er retention from the heat, sitting in the car for hours on end and the joys of PMS). She also gave me my pre-op diet so that I can start trying it out a couple of days a week so we can change things if we need to.
The final good news from both of these appointments is that I do not have to go down for my next appointments until closer to the surgery. I do however have to call Nooshin the first week of September to give her my weight and an update on how I am doing with trying the liquid diet. I will also have a phone follow-up with Dr. Sampath on September 15.
Hope that everyone is doing well, Jayna

Sounds like your appointments went well!
I hope you get your appointment date soon! I hope I get one between now and April aswell! :)
I go see Dr. Nooshin for the first time this week.
and Dr. Sampath next week for my 3rd appointment.
In just 3 days I am up 3lbs...and Im blaming it on PMS....so frustrating. So I know how it feels!
Keep us updated with how it all goes :)
