Just had my pre- anesthesia appointment and asked about possible postponing. As of now if it it scheduled for Jan they are proceeding but unfortunately things can change. So it’s like we are all in limbo and hoping it doesn’t get cancelled at the last minute.

Yes, limbo. Thats the word I've beeen looking for. We're all tough Cookies for making it through these delays. I wonder what the surgery wait is for new patients. It seems they just keep getting more and more backed up.

12th is my magic number. The only thing that i'm nervous about is that maybe the weight loss wont be so fast because of my everyday meds.

I am on bipolar meds which are notorious to interfere with weight loss. I have lost slow but steady and I am about ten pounds from goal.

To ShoppGirl: omg, that's so good to hear. I have something similar so i am so relieved that it works with those meds.

Fly out to Vegas on the January 7th. Surgery is on the 11th. Anyone else going to Las Vegas for their surgery that week? I'll be the fat guy. You can't miss me. ;-)

I was lucky enough to start my preop today (Christmas). My family each made a favorite appetizer and we spent the day together. I had to leave them today because I couldn't be around all of the food today. They are very supportive and understand. Just about to make my second shake.

Stay strong! We've got this.
