I'm so happy for you! I'm hoping to get a date, when I go on Oct. 16th. Maybe I'll get the same date and we can support each other. Well, we can do that, anyway.
Make a list. That's what I'm working on, to help me be patient (not easy). :)
Blessings,
Mary

Congratulations! You're almost there. Keep us posted.

I was feeling a little frustrated & discouraged too about the lengthy process but I posted on the main message board & several people responded & helped me put it all into perspective.  I must say that I do feel better in general doing this diet and exercising in preparation for the surgery.  I know it seems like a long time, but just keep doing what you need to do.  The more knowledge you have about the surgery and the better condition you are in before surgery the better things will go for you.  I wish you the best

I went to the info seminar on July 12, sent in my completed pt info form on July 24, got a call on Aug. 5.  Have to do a 3-mo. medically supervised diet which I started on Aug. 11, so that won't be completed until early to mid Nov.  I completed my psych eval.  Don't know if I'm going to have to go to any classes or anything.  If you're looking at Nov. or Dec. for your surgery, then I guess I might expect to have mine after the first of the year.  If you don't mind my asking, where are you having your surgery?

Hi Hatty,

Just wanted to say welcome and i noticed your surgeon i****ch**** I had Hoehn, so we are in the same surgeon group. And maybe i'm dense what is RLS?
