hi all, hope everyone is doing ok, i haven't been on for a few days, since my "op" ha ha, i have been feeling pretty sorry for myself, and not feeling like talking much but yesterday i decided enough was enough, anyway i phoned the hospital to find out if i had a new date for the surgery and my notes had just arrived with the secretary, and she said that they still have to check with the surgeon to see "which" op i am having (after i had been told it was the sleeve then booked for the band) well it looks like it will be in january at the earliest or february at the latest, i am not holding my breath though, we shall just have to see what happens i guess, anyway i am going to and enjoy the next month and try not to think too much about it, then as soon as xmas is over thaen i will begin yet again. take care, VIv

Viv, just do like you said, enjoy the holidays and be ready to start the new year with a new you. Keep us posted on how things are going.

Viv, I have been totally bummed for you but you know what? I can count several things that are pluses from having to wait, such as getting to enjoy the holidays not in recovery mode which can be stressful, giving you more time to do a pre-op and possibly getting into a good eating/exercise routine and losing a few more pounds pre-surgery, you also are lucky that you have the option for the sleeve when so many people don't have the same luxury and lastly all things happen for a reason or from a christian standpoint "All things work together for good to them that love him and are called according to His purpose".

So though I can feel your pain on the mix up and postponement, your future looks bright doll!

HUGS
