Have u lucked out with getting a cancellation???

Yes finally got one for next Friday, only a week sooner but better then nothing. I will probably call again tomorrow as it seems Fridays are consult days and see if there is a same day. Also heard from a friend from my Options class who is assigned to Dr. Fudorka at St. B's and had her pre- Op Wed. and got a surgery date of Aug. 8th so the wait at St. B's is much less then we were told!

How is the weight loss coming along???

was on vacation for 6 days so not as down as I desired but did not gain so back home and onto the low carb plan again. Have my surgery consult in a week and also my birthday this week so want to be really good about what I eat when it is not a b-day celebration meal.

I did find out that others from my Options were referred to Saint B's also and assigned to one of the 2 doctors. Just another change in procedure I guess. I pressed to see if I could get any info on the possible wait time for surgery and was told it was not available until after the Aug. 3rd surgery consult "that is what the consult is for". I have looked for an office number to the Redlands location and have not located it. All I can do is keep calling the surgical center for a cancelation. Good news is I am finally motivated to do some serious weight loss as I get closer so I have been eating low carb and it is working. Excited for how close you are getting (Nina88) and looking forward to my day being here before tooooooo long!
