Don't Want To Wait

[skintowin 21]

Well I just about done all my pre testing and I have been told I can get a December surgery date!

The problem is my job! We are currently under staffed and with the holidays December and even January will be difficult for me to take off!

So now I am offering to wait until February!!!! I don't know if I can take the wait for 4 months!!!

what a bummer that you have to postpone WLS cuz of work

sorry about that

you'll be busy with work - don't torture yourself for the next 4 months by being angry and wishing you could have had the surgery, saying, "if it weren't for work....." nothing you can do about it

even though sounds like you don't have a choice at work - you must be there - your employer might be appreciative towards you that you are willing to work when surgery was being planned - you postponing WLS for work - doesn't look bad on you

take care

good luck

you will be sleeved

thats the most important thing

You know what? I was supposed to have my surgery in June but I promoted at work in May and there was no way I was going to take that time off a month or 2 after promoting. It kind of sucked because I really wanted the surgery as soon as possible. The worst thing was the probation period at my job was 6 months long so I feel you on this, I really do. But time finally passed and I just had my surgery a little over a week ago. I know it's tough but hang in there, your time will come.

Thank you ladies! I will not dwell on it - and I know February will be here before I know it.

At least I have a set date and I'm working toward a goal!!

oh and Congrats Grammy on your 145lb loss that's great!!

I'm in the same boat. I can't take any real time off until February. (new job) I don't have a surgery date yet, just one more thing to check off the list. But I had already told the surgeon that it couldn't happen before Feb. He was very agreeable to that timeframe. So I'm just using the extra time to change by habits and get a head start on my weight loss.

Wow, when I wrote this back in Oct I thought it was going to be forever to wait till Feb, and here I am, the first day of my pre op diet. I'm not a big fan of Protein Drinks but I'm going to put on my big girl panties and "just do it!"
