Core 2013, Dec 2015 Met with LEAF WMC, Apr2016-re-referred to TOH-WMC , July 7 info session, Nov 28 NP , Dec 5 Pre-surg 1, Jan 14/17 - NP and Dietician, Feb 7-Pre surg 2 & met Dr, OPTIFAST MAR 7, Rny Mar 28
Are you having a revision surgery?
I am having a revision, but definitely feeling the lengthy timeline - I think because they have to confirm they could process me as a revision as I have a lap band.
Orientation was November 2016, Nurse consult was December 2016, Social Worker and Doctor (approved by doctor) was January 2017, and next week is Nutrition Class, March 6 - Dietitian and Social Work follow up
5'0 - SW - 240LBS | Lap Band - August 2015| Revision Band to RNY Surgery - May 16, 2017| Opti-fast - 9lbs | G.W - 150LBS | CW - 165LBS |
I did the Optifast Care Program (just the shakes) because I initially was "talked out" of the Surgery pathway. I am very glad I tried and was successful at the core program, but when the weight came back I wished I had followed thru with the surgery initially.
And here I am.....looks like you are progressing now tho...
Hang in there...its will happen before you know it :)
