Such a long wait!

My insurance requires 6 months supervised weight loss class/doc visits/psych eval. I am on month 3 and it seems like such a long time away.

I am getting really tired of this time frame....

But on a positive note, I know after surgery I will have a whole new me for the rest of my life. I can not wait for what the future holds.

Yes just stay motivated...it would be over before you know it. During this time you can focus on renewing your lifestyle, start getting more active, eat clean, and research research research. I am a strong believer in educating yourself. There are so many people on this forum and the internet in general, that have been in your shoes and can tell you what works and what doesn't. So 90 days of researching can have very equipped for this next journey.

When you're going through it, it does seem like a long time away. But use those months to start making the changes you will need to make after surgery anyway. I stopped drinking soda/carbonated beverages/caffeine a couple months prior to surgery so it wouldn't be so hard to kick those habits post op. I also started walking daily so that it would part of my routine even before having surgery. It will be here before you know it!

I completely understand! I started my 6 mo nutrition visits in January, so I'm in the 6th month. Now, I'm glad that I used this time to change some long term habits because yesterday I learned that I'm being relatively fast tracked since I don't have a lot of behavior changes left to change. Rather than 4 weekly classes, I was recommended for one long day called a boot camp. Also, at my 4th appointment with my nutritionist, she recommended getting the ball rolling with the bariatric team. Now, it seems like everything is falling into place to have surgery in late August or September. I think I'll find out more at my next surgeon visit.

I hear ya!!!! My 6 months started on 3/8, and waiting is not fun. I figured it would go by fast, but wow time is dragginngggggg! I should have waited until now to quit the Diet Coke- which to me has been the hardest part!!

It seems like all I do is go to the doctor. When I have my surgery, I am also having my ovaries removed and a bladder sling thing done. One surgery, versus three. I was already hitting my out of pocket max this year, so I figured i might as well. Luckily the docs are all good with it- but getting all the prep appts for all three surgeries is CRAZY. I have never been to the doctor more in my life lol!

Happy Waiting.
