The Weekend is near

Ok, As I have said before, I am in the waiting process and it is nerve racking. Do you all have any stories of your waiting periods that will enlighten this matter????

Hi Yvette It is nerve racking. I myself think the waiting game is the hardest part of the whole thing. It will happen when it is supposed to and I am a big believer in that phrase. I will keep my fingers crossed and pray that it happens quick for you.

Thanks. I hope so because leaving Kaiser and moving over to Blue Cross, its been a long time.

Hi Yvette - I agree, waiting is the pits!! Hopefully, the wait won't be too long and you'll be a loser soon! Take this time to get ready - do whatever housework (ick!) that you won't be able to do for a while after surgery, if you have family that you cook for, maybe prepare and freeze some meals, try out protein drinks and/or bars - but be careful, don't buy too much because you may find that your tastes will change after surgery. There are a couple of good websites where you can buy samples of protein powders. Above all, continue to do your research - there are several good books out there. Please feel free to come to us with any questions or concerns. We're here for you! Teresa (Tia)

Hi, I am having surgery April 5th with Dr. Lee also, isn't she wonderful??? I have Kaiser and actually love them, they have always been on top of things and as long as I did my part they did theirs too. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you. Welcome to this great board!

They started out ok. I was in the 6 month weight loss program(Which is unfair) then as I got to my last (5month session) things got crazy, then the wait went from 6 months to over a year. The reason for this surgery is to help me lose the weight and start my life again, not keep me waiting and other things. My Nutritionist, had me waiting for like forever for appts. and My PCP, was a jerk. I just hope and Pray that the other folks go to them they do better by them.

thanks
