Waiting, Waiting, Waiting...
So here I am on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, hoping to get the anticipated phone call from the OTC about my meeting with Dr. Campbell. I did all the work, did as I was told and now the waiting game! I honestly think the waiting is worse than the whole process from start to finish... I had some control during the process and even I had the control to push things out a bit because of all the chaos in my life this spring.
Yet now I'm ready and yup.. WAITING...
Debbie C - how long after your meeting with Dr. Snow did you wait before you met with Dr. Campbell? They told me at the center that it would be about 4 weeks after my meeting with Dr. Campbell to my surgery date... with LOTS of appts in between. Curious as to what the appts are and what I need to do to prepare? Yes very OCD and need to have control over everything... can ya tell?
Hope all are well out there in WLS land... congrats to the May post ops.. cannot wait to join you!! Jealous of all of you post ops... living vicariously through your posts now!!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY FOLKS!!

YAY!! Call from CMC... Appt to meet with Dr. Campbell June 22nd at 1pm... Sucks it's a month out but at least I have it! Hopefully it wont be cancelled... fingers crossed! Need to maintain the weight loss and get down a bit more (without risking falling under 40 BMI).
Its looking like the week of my hubby's vacation for surgery which is what I was hoping for... if all goes well I will be post op by July 25th!!
YAY! YAY!! YAY!!!

Okay, so, here's the scoop: It was about a month to my appt. with Dr. Campbell, then about 3 weeks to surgery. Once you meet with her, there are the following appointents:
Pre-Op Nutritional Education at OTC
Pre-Op Surgical Appt. with Dr. Campbell's Physician's Assistant (I had Alison, very nice)
Pre-OP Adissions and Anesthesia Appointment at CMC
AFTER SURGERY:
Post-Op Surgical Check Up (with Physician's Assistant usually) 2 weeks out
Post-Op Nutrition at OTC (2 weeks out)
Then 1 month, 2 month, 3 month check ups at OTC
Optional Post-Op Support Groups
Call or e-mail me ANYTIME: [email protected]
Good luck!

My surgery with Dr. Campbell was scheduled for May 25th, but was cancelled due to her family emergency. I finally heard from her office this past Friday and they wanted to reschedule me for June 8th, but due to work needing more notice, I pushed it back to June 23rd. From what I heard, Dr. Campbell will be doing surgeries on an additional day to make up for missed time, so hopefully those still waiting won't be pushed back too far!
