I just can't wait!!

Hi,

I just finished my Psych evaluation on Feb.4th and I think that was the last exam I need before the office visit with the surgeon. I'm getting very impatient!! I'm going to call tomorrow just to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. I was hoping to have the surgery done during our Easter vacation from school (I'm an elementary school teacher) so I would be well established in the diet before summer. It's coming awfully soon, so I don't think that's going to happen.

I've watched the procedure on YouTube so many times, I feel like I could do it myself!! I'm 35 years old, around 5'4" and weigh about 262 right now. The absoulute heaviest I've ever been. I've been ordering Phentermine online for so long to try and battle the buldge, (it stopped being really effective a long time ago!) but I went completely off of it so I wouldn't have any foreign chemicals in my body during surgery. Now I look and feel like a Thanksgiving parade balloon!

Just curious as how many are out there in limbo like I am right now. There's nothing left to do except wait for the surgeon to call. I'll be going to Hickory Surgical Clinic in Hickory, NC. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Hang in there-It seems like forever but it will come and it will be more than worth the wait.

Me too! I'm not exactly official, but very close!! I should be official tomorrow or Tuesday(with insurance). Once that comes through, I will meet with my surgeon and have my date finalized, it's one of two days at this point.

Hi everyone. I am in the waiting phase. I had all my appointments and even have a date, but I am waiting for final approval from my insurance. I called the surgeon's office to see if they heard. I scheduled my date on the 5th of Feb so I guess it isn't too long for insurance. It seems very long to me. I would be very disappointed if things didn't go through. I spent 6 months with required sessions required by my hospital. The make everyone who wants weightloss surgery to go through these classes. I guess it is good to make sure it is what you really want. This site has been great for me lately seeing all the positive results. I don't read about any of the problems. I want to have a positive attitude when I go. I'm also a teacher in a vocational high school and want to have a good start before summer. I don't know how many people I want to tell. My close friends know, but others at work don't need to know. I guess I am afraid to tell people in case I don't lose much. That isn't very positive is it?:thumbdown:
