My surgery is scheduled for January 5th. I had my initial consultation in September and was told I would need to be on a physician supervised diet for 6 months. I have yo-yo dieted for years, and had even been seeing a physician for adipex on and off for a few years. I had those records faxed to my surgeon's office and was pleasantly surprised to find out that my 6 month supervised diet was no longer a requirement! I could have scheduled my surgery in early December, but opted to wait until January for work purposes. I'm starting to feel very anxious and nervous for surgery, but I'm also excited to start this journey!
