So frustrated!!
cancellation list worked for me, my original surgery date was August 21 and I was able to get in on a cancellation on June 2. Good luck!
Surgery Jun.2/17 at TWH ----- HW 215 - SW 197.2 - GW 125 CW 124.6
Pre-Op=8.8lbs --- Optifast= 8.4 (was on it for 9 days due to cancellation)
M1 - 20.6... M2 -10.2... M3 -8.0... M4 -5.8... M5 -9.0... M6 -5.2... M7 -7.0... M8 -2.2... M9 -0.9... M10 -2.6... M11-0.6... M12-2.0
It was over a year for me too and then I was told end of December. I was so disappointed. Then I got put on the cancellation list and was called the same day. I just had my surgery a few days ago....so there is hope. I know it is rough waiting...so very frustrating. I wish for you the patience you will need and I sincerely hope and pray that your time comes sooner than expected.

Hi there,
The waiting really is the worst part.
I was successful in moving my surgery up by getting on the cancellation list. The process is very specific; you go through the nurse, Sharon. If you don't have her information, and getting on the cancellation list is an option for your schedule, feel free to message me and I'll walk you through the steps.
Sharon is amazing and lovely and it saved me months of waiting.
((Hugs))
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. Choose happy.

You know... cancellations are a funny thing... i'm such a control freak that I would probably go nuts I have to get my hair cut, my hair dyed ...I would have to get all my dental appointments .. then I would have to pack... shop and cook... I am NOT low maintenance.. so it will be the long road for me.. see OAAT.. I owned it.. ;)
I know it's frustrating, but hang in there; it will happen. I had to wait over 2 and a half years for surgery. It was super frustrating to wait so long, but totally worth it in the end.
