  1. so upset apparently i have to wait for 2 other people to be approved to get a dang surgery date :( they only do groups of 3... couldnt get an estimated time frame or anything im extremely upset... i thought i was doing the surgury for me so why do i need to wait on others when ive completed what i need to do on my own....

      Thats crazy!!! I wouldn't like that either. So they couldn't even tell you how far along these other 2 are? I mean that isn't fair. I would be complaining!!! I would see if there is another surgeon in your area and call and ask them about that. See if they all do that cause I have never heard of that???

      It sounds crazy, but I started with my nutritionist in August and didn't have surgery until January.It was the best thing for me. She conditioned me to eat smaller, slower, & move more. I lost over 30 pounds during that time.I also think it gave me more time to prepare mentally. Please do not be upset. That only leads to hunger or emotional eating. Stay positive and have them work with you until the time is right. It'll all work in your favor. : )
