TWH - only thing left is the surgeon.....
I had my last appt today at TWH - which was the dietician - not scary at all - I was worried when I read stuff on here - but I seriously don't know what everyone is so scared of...
Anyway - I was lucky enough to have my final appointment on the same day as rounds - so she said sh would make sure my file got in there today :)
She said I would get a call from a surgeon in 2-3 weeks - and then surgery likely in January - which fits perfectly into my plan!

That's great! My last appointment is on Wednesday so I'm really hoping my file makes it to rounds on Thursday. That's awesome if you get the call from the surgeon that quickly. I want to get in as early as I can.... Even if I'm on opti over Christmas.
RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.
77 lbs lost and counting!
Losing the regain! I got this!
Good luck - I'm sure you will have similar timelines as me then.
I kind of wanted one last Christmas...lol if you know what I mean :)
I would go for surgery tomorrow if I could - but have a 2 week cruise coming up end of Oct - and my coworker has action starting Dec 18th until end of year - so I don't want to mess with that - so I am focused on a January surgery - hopefully that will be the case :)
I hope your appt goes as smoothly as mine did

Daizymom, I had my surgery on December 18th ... and it worked out perfectly even if it was over Christmas! I had tomato soup for my Christmas dinner ... all the best!
