I guess I should be happy

I have my surgery date. It's July 24th. I had hoped it would be a lot sooner than that, but I guess that's just the way things go. Linda

That's great you have a date now!! Sorry it isn't as soon as you were wanting. Bil

Congratulations on your date! I understand how frustrated you must feel, though. Hang in there and the day will come sooner than you think.

you could always tell them to call you if they cancel someone. When people don't lose the required amount of weight etc. My friend was told it would be months, but, she was called 2 weeks later and that was that. just a thought, congrats. nancy

Thanks Nancy - I did ask Terra to call me if they had anyone cancel. I thought I would be so excited when I finally got my date, but when it's almost 3 months out, it's a little hard to be jazzed about it. Linda

Sorry your date is not sooner Linda, but congratulations on getting a date. Earlier this week I got some bad news about my surgery date. I was scheduled for June 8th and Terra called to say she was just told that Dr. Deveney was going on vacation in early June and my surgery had to be rescheduled. I now have a date of June 20th -- it is only 12 more days to wait, but it was disappointing to be postponed. We just have to hang in there.

Oh dear Randy and Shirley! I'm sorry that you have had a postponement. This whole process is a pretty stressful thing. I've tried to be cheery throughout, but I'm getting a little weary. Hopefully, I'll feel better about it in a few days. Linda

Linda Dido on Shirleys' disappointment, she and I are still on the same day, just that extra 12 days.. Bummer! Randy

Linda, too bad about the time until your "date", but now you have something definite. I hope the time goes faster than you think it will. Julia

Linda, First off congrad's on your date! I have my surgery scheduled on the 29th of June and because I want to keep myself positive about the wait, I have made a calendar to help me count down. Every night I mark one day off and tell myself that I have this many days until my new life and my new me! This probably doesn't work for everyone, but I really like to feel that the goal is in sight. Hope you find something that will help. Dre
