i am so sorry. when my surgery kept getting delayed i would leave the office in tears. we get so psych'd up for our appointments . i am sorry that you have to wait longer, it's hard.

Betsy, be proactive, check with your insurance and your surgeon's office and start working on any requirements now... supervised diet is the biggie! I was required to do a 6 month supervised diet and got 5 months of it taken care of before I ever stepped foot into the surgeon's office. Surgery date was exactly 2 months from my initial consultation.

I've found that in all my healthcare needs, the more proactive and involved you are... the better results and more satisfied you are. So take charge!!
