Surgery date
I just got my surgery date... April 24th .. Im happy and excited that its real... Its happening... But also thinking that its still about 10 weeks... Its a long time!
I asked to be put on the cancelation list and I already have my opti fast..so.... I guess I just need to be patient from now on.
I was wondering about the cancelation list... . I really wanted to get this done and over with before April.
Have anyone been put on cancelation list too?? How long until we get a call??
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Congrats! The waiting is the worst, but it will happen.
Referred April 2016, Orientation September 21, 2016; Psyc appointment November 23, 2016; Nurse Practitioner assessment November 30, 2016; Nutrition Class December 7, 2016; Social Worker assessment December 9, 2016; Nutrition 1:1 January 26, 2017 and Surgeon April 7, 2017; Pre-admission June 12, 2017; Surgery date June 20, 2017 with Dr. T.

Pre surgery loss 20 lbs, M1-17 lb, M2-16, M3-16.2, M4-7, M5-10.8, M6-+8, M7-4, M8-
Goal 1- 50 pound loss by Jan. 1, 2018 (245.6 lbs) reached August 10, 2017
Goal 2 - 100 pound loss by June 21, 2018 (one year post op) (195.6) reached TBD
The best thing with TWH is to keep calling. Call them once a week to see if you're able to be moved up. I did this with appointments and finished all mine 5 months after orientation. Then when my surgeon appointment was cancelled and I heard they were offering the chance to go to Guelph for surgery I did the same. Time from referral to surgery was 11 months.
RNY Jan 12, 2017 Lost 137 lbs but regained 60.
77 lbs lost and counting!
Losing the regain! I got this!
CONGRATS! AND AT TWH wow, you made it through the backlog! Time will fly by, i agree with pam make the changes now. I started to make changes last week and I'm glad I have some time to "ramp up". It a lot more planning to get the right food in than I thought...so now I know what i'm in for...i look forward to the first few weeks post op so that I can get a rest from all the planning!
Hopefully my taste doesn't change after post op...there are some "go to" food that I have identified that are easy, hopefully i'll still like them!
