Waiting... Waiting...



Recommended Posts

Oh gosh..more waiting. It feels the day will never come. Thanks for the encouragement. :)

I feel you. Hang in there. We can do this! :D

Yep, I'm waiting with you!

A waiting buddy! :D I hope that you hear good news, soon. :D

I went today for fifth weigh in. I start pre op diet the 25th. 6Th weigh in Nov 1st... Then surgery the 8th of nov. I'm so ready for this!!!

I am so glad for you that you have concrete dates. I don't have surgery date or a date to start my pre op diet yet. It'll be nice to have dates to mark off my calendar, :D You're going to do so great.

Yay! My date is November 5th. I feel so ready, too. Big day is five weeks from today so I am trying to get a chunk off and practice some of the new habits for banded life. Looking forward to health and happiness -- and a lot of work over the winter and next spring, summer, etc. to make my goal. It's going to take a while but I am so committed.

I am sooooo green-eyed monster-y right now! LOL But I am also so happy for you that you have your date. You are so close and soon you will be on your way. ! Yay! I am also teaching myself to "eat like a bandster." It's not easy. LOL I need a lot of practice.

The Icy One,

I finished my last pcp visit last week and everything was submitted to ins last Wed. My surgeons office told me we should hear something within two weeks, so hopefully it will be that quick for you as well. It seems we will be getting banded close together. Hope all goes well. I am super excited one day then super anxious the next. Just ready to be done. This past week has been harder then waiting the stupid required 6 months!! :huh:

I hope so. This waiting, now that I got through the four month nonsense is the hardest part. If I were a nail biter, I wouldn't have any fingers left! LOL Wouldn't it be funny if we go on the same day? :D I hope that you hear soon and have a surgery date soon and all goes swimmingly. :D

I'm really happy and excited for all of us. We can be banding buddies now :)

So am I. I am hoping for good news. And good news sooner than later. This waiting is enough to make a person loony in the head. Maybe they think if they make me wait I'll get cold feet and back out. Ha! They don't know me. I am excited for all of us. By the first of the year, we should all be the bandsters, giving advice to the nervous newbies. :D

Thanks everyone for helping to make this interminable waiting a little more bearable. You all rock.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
