Wondering if anyone else is close to when I saw the surgeon.  I am still waiting for a surgery date, it has been 11 weeks since I met the surgeon on April 8th.  Anyone else in the same boat?

I met the surgeon in January and my surgery was in April.  I think patience is key and don't worry they will call!

Thanks, the waiting truly is the hardest part of the process.  How are you feeling lately?  I remember you had some challenges in the beginning.

I am feeling really good..When I hit week 7 things just went much better.  Regular food helps.  Cutting it in pieces and eating slowly.  I still can't swallow multivitamins whole or halved, but the chewables are bearable.  I am so thankful for this surgery - 50 pounds lost, have not had a migraine since surgery, no more neck pain, I can exercise now so weight is going down again.........  It feels like I can breathe and have a life again.

I understand your frustration on waiting as the process is so long.  Soon you will have your surgery and the wait for it will be a distant memory.  I hope you get the call soon as I know how much it can be life changing.

Good luck!
