How Long ,,,-->

So how long as everyone been waiting on this surgery ?
myself its been 11 yr's
anyone else been waiting that long?
anyone who's not been waiting that Long but already have a date for surgery?
im hoping to get done in the New year, *i know* im getting it done in the new Year
hoping for EARLY new yr and not late ..

 11 years... omg... you must be so tired of waiting, at least your wait is almost over! heres hoping it comes soon :)

Hey Newfiesunshine: I can't imagine having to wait 11 yrs. OMG !
I would be bonkers by now. I've been waiting for over 4 yrs. I have
my 2nd. meeting with Dr. P tomorrow morning. It's the 1st. time
meeting with Reyleen & Rhoda. I hope your waiting is over soon.

I don't understand why the wait is so long? I have noticed most are only waiting roughly 4-6 months on average.....I am (fingers crossed) getting done early new year and I can't imagine how hard it must be to be waiting so long. I have had my appt with raleen and rhoda and sleep study done since october,all thats left is to sign consent and I have been told that feb is looking good for me.Hope you get an appointment or surgery date soon....good luck terrie Can't wait to hear how your appointment went

Thanks Jackie, I've been 3 years trying to get surgery off the island before Dr. Pace
started doing it here. Jan. 23 will be a year waiting for Dr. Pace. Others with lower BMI
having been getting done first. Because I've been called in I am assuming he is going
to now start with the higher ones. I was one of the 1st. on the list when he started this.
I had a meeting with him in June and signed my consent form already.

it does suck waiting that long !! and discouraging, seems
the few post i have posted in here have been me being discouraged
and disapointed. .. i was on the top  of the list for when they did get the OK
to do it 11 yrs ago and it just took em that long to get the OK

yet im still waiting, and ppl have been in and out , and i know they say the ppl with the lower BMI
and stuff , but theres been a cpl whos already done who didnt  wait 1/2 as long as what ive been waiting,  and there BMI and weight was the same as mine and higher yet they are done..

i got all my test and stuff done and signed my consent with dr pace  back in June to OK it all and be ready to go when ever they called, i havent got a call yet nor have i got a call with meeting raylene and the other misses either like some ppl have said they did........... So ya it is disapointing and makes
one loose  hope after waiting so long, but im trying by best to hold on as for having to wait i have no choice  only to wait. but i do hope i get in early new yr, i want this done and over with and start a new IF i could do it on my own  i would have long ago but i cant and need the help...............

Sorry to hear newfie I hope you hear something soon!!

yeah jackie me too , thanks :)
if i get time tomorrow in between taking care of my two foster
babies , im going to give dr pace office a call and hopefully get
SOME updates.

I'll let you know what I find out today.Keep your chin up Jackie...
The wait time will be over soon.

Hey Newfie, Did you get the chance to call in and see what's happening with you?
