tmcx28 297 Posted January 30, 2016 The 6 months will go by so fast! I felt like I had just started when my surgical coordinator called and gave me a surgery date, I couldn't believe it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsB7 64 Posted January 30, 2016 I have a question regarding the 6 months. Does the doctor make you complete a full 6 months like to date or is it just in the 6th month? Like for me will they say 1/21-7/21 or is it 180days? I'm a little confused Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACV 34 Posted January 30, 2016 Msb7 You just started too, so I would like to keep in touch. Is that alright? You can friend people on here right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyboo1972 90 Posted January 30, 2016 @MsB7. I'm not sure about it. My insurance is requiring the 6 months so I'm sure it is 180 days. Either way in hoping it puts my surgery date somewhere in or around August or September. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ava32 48 Posted January 30, 2016 I'm also starting my process must meet with my nutritionist and the surgeon this coming Tuesday, feeling pretty excited, wishing us all a safe a happy journey! ???? I started my 6 months supervised weight loss this month as well. I'm so pissed about it but I know it has to be done. Anyone have any ideas on how to remain positive or tips to make the time go quick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MsB7 64 Posted January 31, 2016 @@ava32 I don't have any tips however I am just trying to remain positive with faith. Also knowing that at the end of the 6 months you will get the Best Gift/ Prize ever BETTER HEALTH (a 2nd Chance at life). That's pretty much how I am looking at it because with Better health comes Longevity. Blessings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And when I found out about the 6 month requirement, I got really discouraged. But I guess it's better to look at the glass half full instead of empty. ????

MsB7 64 Posted January 31, 2016 @@ava32 I have struggled all of my life as well. But they say time will fly. So hopefully it does. I also think about how 6 months is shorter than the 12 months that my sister had to do 5 years ago for her WLS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
