Will I ever get my date???

I went to my pre op appointment with the surgeon today. He was nice and answered all my questions and then turned it over to the nurse. She told me I have to see the nut again in 30 days. After that I have to go for blood work at the surgeon's office. After they get my blood work back they will schedule my surgery. The nurse told me it may be in March. I am so disappointed. I wanted to get a date today. I have been waiting so long.

Hang in Emily.   It's a long process but it's for your ultimate best interest.  Continue on your weight loss program and exercise and you'll be that much healthier for your surgery.

Thanks Debra, I am going to keep right on rolling with it. I know you are right.
Emily

Emily I do not understand why you are having to do this.
Are you required to lose weight to get a date???? If so let me know I can give you the pre op diet I used and lost the weight to get my date. LOL Dr. Keith said he wanted me to lose it cause I was hard headed....
I will be thinking about ya

Pattye, I don't have to lose a certain amount of weight to have the surgery. I just can gain any weight at all between now and Feb 5th or they won't do the surgery. I have a 1200 calorie pre op diet the nut gave me. So far I have lost 10 pounds on it. I was happy with that. Thanks for the thoughts.

Emily I am sorry that you didn't get your date today. I know you were looking forward to it. You will get there and it will be a date you will never forget.

Thanks for the support.

Sheila, I appreciate you support and encouragment. I will hang in there. I am not giving up. I just really wanted a date so I would have something tangible if that makes sense. I guess I have Feb 5th to look forward to.
