Got my surgery date!!!!!

So so super excited!  I saw Dr. Hagen today and got a surgery date.  It's June 6th, which means this journey will have taken exactly 53 weeks from orientation to surgery :). Three weeks of opti starting on May 16th. My son wants to have a funnel cake food funeral at Wonderland before then. Good luck to everyone else who got their dates today

Congratulations, we are surgery buddies. My date is June 6th as well. what time is yours my is at 0930. 

I'm scheduled in for 11:00, so probably right after you!  Happy times, seems like the wait is almost finally over

Hah...awesome you 2 found each other!!!!

Congratulations 

I am after you two but glad you got your date.  I chose to wait until the end of the month because of my schedule but do wish I could have done it earlier but it is what it is.  Hoping to find a surgery buddy.  Look forward to hearing about the last leg of this part of your journey. 

I really wanted one as soon as possible in order to get as much recovery time in before the kids got out of school for the summer :)

Congratulations!!! I have been so blessed and for me it is 26.5 weeks between GP referral to OBN and surgery (6 months and two days)!

Looks like we will be going through this final process together. I start opti on May 13th and surgery is June 3rd! I'm so excited!!! I'm referring to this final week of normal food pre-opti as "the last supper". Lol I haven't been as good on my diet the sat two weeks. I'm trying to enjoy (reasonably) things that I plan to cut out long-term or permanently. I will miss those things but I'll get over it because I want to have the best success possible!

Good luck!! Keep me posted...will be nice to hear from someone else going through opti with me!

I will definitely keep you posted, and you do the same. I'm doing the same thing, saying good bye to the stuff I won't be eating again.
