SO I have to start the 6 months MWL over again because I missed my second appointment (I thought it was a Tuesday, but it was a Monday, and it was the last day of the month), but I had only went to the first one. So I have my second "first" appointment set up on the 15th of Dec. 

 

Here's to hoping that won't happen again!

 

Well, I'm just gonna say it won't because I'm in control here, LOL. I just need to keep up with my dates!

As you said, never again   When I found out I had to do a mandatory 6 months program before surgery I cried!  But looking back all that I learned was the reason I have been successful.  Take in everything they teach you and understand this is a tool and you are doing this for the rest of your life. And what a fabulous life it will be.

Keep us posted on how you are doing!

((Hugs)) I know that has to be frustrating, but look at it this way: At least it was only the second appointment and didn't happen much later down the road. Chalk it up to a lesson learned and keep on keeping on.

Do you have a phone with a calendar app? What I did was to put my appointment in mine as soon as they told me when the next one would be, then I'd set the app to remind me the day before and then again an hour before.

Good luck on your WL journey!

The exact same thing happened to me - I misunderstood that they wanted one appointment in every calendar month and not one appt 30 days apart.  My bad!  But it all ended up great in the end.

I applaud your persistence.  We've all had set-backs and had to deal with things that should never have happened, and we got through it as best we could. Good Luck
