Holidays

How did Christmas go for you all?

Hi there sorry for the late reply, but Christmas and New year went great. First time on our own this holiday usually every year we're either with my family or my husband's. Kids were fine with it. ???s: Have you had your surgery? I yes, how long did it take you from start to surgery date? My journey so far has been Health Ed class 10/27/12, then Surgeon Orient. 11/11/12, appt. with surgeon 12/19/12, and per doctor's orders I have to lose 26lbs. before getting my psych eval. Its been 4wks since I saw my dr and I only lost 3lbs. Not giving up though.

It's okay for the late reply, we all get busy! I have not had my surgery yet. I have done the required classes, passed through psych eval, and had my physical. Tomorrow I have my "last" appointment with the dietician (if she passes me through). I am scheduled to meet the surgeon on the 28th and we will get my surgery date at that time. As for the weight loss, I know how it goes. I have been fighting to get surgery for over 2 years. I did not lose enough weight my first time through, it was seriously tough. I have managed to lose 50 lbs since May this time around so weight loss will not be an issue. I am excited and having difficulty sleeping because of it. I have been struggling not to put back on the weight that I have lost. It seems anytime I eat anything remotely bad, ( one cheeseburger from Mcdonalds for instance) I gain like 4 lbs!!!! Craziness!!!!! Just keep your head up and you will reach your goal :D
