elli'smommy 160 Posted May 22, 2013 Well, here I am with my date for surgery and it's a lot further away than I had hoped but scheduled nonetheless. My date is July 3rd, 2013. I have my PreOp class on June 18th. They gave me two dates in June but both coincided with my sister's pregnancy dates (baby shower and birth) and since my mom will be taking care of both of us (in two different states) I waited on mine until July. It's not as quick as I had hoped but I'm glad it's scheduled and I'm on my way :-) Blessings, Chris 1 karlam29 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitzie46 116 Posted May 23, 2013 I started this process in January, finished everything in April and am still waiting for a date. My program is very slow. I had hoped for surgery in April, then May, and then June. Now I am praying for July! Hopefully I will be with you guys on the loser's bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blueeyezz85 23 Posted May 23, 2013 I started orientation in july...all together it will be a year by surgery...the waiting sucked I had to keep stalking the surgery coordinator then called drs receptionist and then I got it...a lot of different hoops but it will be worth it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elli'smommy 160 Posted May 24, 2013 Hey guys! Sorry it has taken so long to respond. I've been consumed by funerals they last couple days. My cousins (22 & 23) were killed in an auto accident last Saturday. We buried them yesterday. Very trying and incredibly sad. With that being said; I'm excited for surgery but just coming through this death process I question whether I'm making a sound decision for me and my family. Life is so precious and can't be over on the blink of an eye. Maybe I'm just still super emotional from the past several days and I hope it passes soon so I'm back on track. Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsworkinger 16 Posted May 24, 2013 I too started this process in January and just got the call this morning that I've been approved! I was also hoping for a June surgery but am scheduled for July 8th! I'm just glad that there's an end in sight! Really excited but nervous too!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
