Clempier, I am also wondering what I will look like next year. I can't wait to have the surgery and start losing weight. This wait is killing me...I am not good at waiting :thumbup:....Have you heard anything else about ppl getting their surgery dates??..Hope to have a call soon...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year...

If dr Savoie can only do 1 surgery per week I won't have my surgery done until the end of next year. From the information they provided me they started the consulations the second week of october and they were doing them once a week and they we seeing about 15 patients. So at one a week it will take forever before I can have my surgery. I am anxious to get this over with and start the weight loss process. Missy123

When I met Dr Savoie he never told me I had to loose weight before going for the surgery. The only thing he told me was that I would be on Optifast 2 weeks before surgery. I haven't lost any weight but I haven't gained either. It is very hard to loose this time of the year. I will try not to gain but after Christmas I am gonna try harder a loosing . The more I can loose before the less I will have to loose after. I'm assuming that I won't go before March as I only had my consultation on october 30. I am wondering how many surgeries he will be performing per week once he starts in January. I can't wait for this whole process to be done as I am soo nervous to get the operation. Hope we hear something soon. Missy123
