Hello my name is Catherine and I have completed all the steps the 6 month supervised program as well as all my blood work. I have also completed my two hour pre op class and have gone to my required support group meetings. I had an appointment with my surgeon June 13 but he cancelled because he had a surgery to do. That was understandable but then I got a phone call that said that the appointment would be rescheduled to July 18 (more than a month later). That same day my surgeon called me personally and told me to ignore the July 18 appointment because my surgery would be either the first or second week of July. He spoke to me about doing my pre op diet and taking my Vitamins as well as having Iron and Calcium with me the day of surgery. I have been calling his office all of last week and this week and no one has a surgery date for me yet. I am getting frustrated because it is already July 1st. They keep saying that someone is going to call me back with a date but no one calls. I don't know what to do.

Keep calling.

Worst case scenario: if you're not comfortable with this doctor, you find a new one.

Yea I think I will because he keeps building my spirits up and then doesn't follow through with it

@@unique_cathy Heard anything yet?......If it were me and I wasn't able to get info over the phone I may just show up in the office and try to get an answer in person.....Another thing, when the surgeon called you, do you have his number in your caller ID.....perhaps he called from a personal line??? just a thought.

Good luck!

You're welcome! It hasn't been very long for me and I remember how terrible all the waiting was. I"m happy to help any way I can. The good news, is once you get that date things start to feel like they're finally moving!......so hang on! :D

Best of luck to you on your journey.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
