NOPATIENCE

Thanks to both of you for the encouraging words. I am following multiple forums. The inspiring words keep me motivated. This site really gives you the feeling that you are a member of a large family. Also lets me know I am not alone in all these strange feelings I'm having. I've waiting this long, what's another 8 weeks or so, right? You all have a nice day.

Good luck to you. I also am awaiting my surgery date. What kind of "milk shakes" are they making you drink? Thanks.

Thank you for your posts. I think that creatinglee answered carolyn24seven's question about why Kaiser makes us lose 10% of our weight before they will schedule the surgery. It's tough, but it'll all be worth it in the long run. I was a sugar addict but I've been off the sugar for a few weeks now, so I won't go thru withdrawals after surgery. I AM also learning patience (I think)! Good luck creatinglee. Fremont is a little different. I had my pschyc appt last week and as soon as I've lost my last 5 lbs or so, I just call the surgery scheduler, she then sends my chart to my surgeon and then they call me with the surgery date. That's it. No caseworker involved. Strange, isn't it, that it's the same company (Kaiser No. Cal.) but they work in different ways from one location to the next. Keep my posted, please. I'll do the same.:001_tongue:

I, too, have Kaiser in No. Cal. I am having my surgery in Fremont. I have 5 more lbs to loose before they will schedule my surgery. It seems like I should be able to take that off in a week, but it is taking every inch of the will power that I possess (which is not much). I will let you all know when I get my surgery date. I was having a terrible dilemma between the VSG or the RNY, but have decided that the best route for me is the VSG. Now that I've made up my mind (with all of your help), I'm anxious to get my surgery.:001_tongue:
