Meeting with Dr Mattar tomorrow

I am meeting with Dr Mattar first thing tomorrow morning.  I am freaking out a bit, because even though I know what to expect next, it is all so scary.

I am also freaked about my weight.  It has been a littel over a week since meeting my weight goal, but now I am having my period and am up a few pounds.  I am afraid he is going to not allow me to proceed because of that....

Any words of wisdom?

I don't know Dr Mattar but I am sure he wants you to be successful in your journey so you have to put your faith in him.  Know that each and every decision he makes, he makes for your benefit.  You know in your head that you would not want him to make such drastic changes to your body one second before you were fully prepared to be successful.  This is a rough surgery and not to be taken lightly.  Yesterday I said to my hubby "I just for one meal want to turn off my surgery so I can drink while I eat".  We all have made a lot of sacrifices to get where we are, including you, so hang in there. 

All that being said I would hope that since you reached your weight loss goal at your last appointment you are considered ready for your next step.  I have been watching and reading your posts and am anxious for you to get your approval and date.  Good luck to you and keep your head up high.  Keep us posted.

things will go fine! keep us posted!

My appointment with Dr Mattar went well.  I have my preop testing next Thursday and likely will have surgery in either late September or early October.  I am so excited and scared...

I am very glad to hear your appt went well.  Waiting for a date can be agonizing, try to keep yourself busy and keep your mind off of it so that it doesn't stress you out.  Its normal to be scared, just keep checking in with those of us who  went before you so we can reassure you.  It really is the best thing that I have done for myself.

Stacy I am glad your appointment went well. My surgery is sept 29th. So it looks like we might be around the same time. Maybe we can help each other along since we will be at the same stage. Hope you get a date soon.

Good luck,
Holly
