TWH - got my meet the surgeon appt.
I just got my call that I meet the surgeon on May 26th at TWH.
I've been watching peoples timeline posts and was thinking it would be May but was really hoping for early May.
Based on what I've seen from others here who are going to TWH, I'm guessing that my surgery won't be until September :( I'm disappointed about this, but what can you do. Hopefully time passes quickly, I am SO READY to move on to the next step in this journey.
Surgery Jun.2/17 at TWH ----- HW 215 - SW 197.2 - GW 125 CW 124.6

Congratulations. The process moves slowly, then picks-up after approval. Time will pass quickly and some do request to be put on the cancellation list - which can be only a few days notice and you have to be able to arrange things - personally and work-wise - quickly.
Best of luck. It will be here sooner than you think.

I know it seems like forever of a wait, but take the time to make changes in your lifestyle now... makes everything easier in the end.
If you had your orientation just 5-6 months ago, you're already flying through. :)

agreed, I am totally flying through. I just feel so ready. The dietician was over the moon happy with the changes I made, she said I was totally killing it. I feel like I am on a high right now and just want to keep this feeling going.
Plus I have a wedding to go to in October and I REALLY want to be on solids by then so it is not noticeable to everyone that I am eating weird - LOL

Someone just posted they met the surgeon and are booked for late April.
im beginning to notice that it's TWH per say... it's each individual surgeon, how many surgeries they do a day etc...
keeping my fingers crossed!
