I feel like I've been dumped off on the great unknown...

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I need two seconds to vent...Last

Friday I went to my final class at SSF. I went through the Lifestyle

4 class and they asked me to stay for the pre-op class. Here's my

frustration...I made my goal weight plus an additional 5 lbs. I

intend to keep going until I have my surgery but what now?! I feel

like I have nothing to really look forward to or wait for. I have no

appointments and no more classes...I feel like now I sit and wait

until the Oct. calender comes out. I don't like that feeling. The

past 8 months have have been pretty much spent counting down til my

next appointment or class and now that I'm done with no concrete

surgery date I feel like........I've been sorta abandoned. I know

it's a little nutty of me to feel this way but I don't know if I

should call Kaiser and ask if there's anything else I need to do or

if I should I just shut up and sit still.

oy vey...it was a bit easier when the waiting game was more

structured.

Ciao kids,

Azin, you could periodically check in...maybe twice a

week and see if someone canceled. It could happen. I

understand how you feel though. Congrats on the goal

plus additional weight. Just continue to do just

that...the more gone, the better. Hang in there. Your

day will come. Hopefully, September.

I did not mean twice a week. I meant twice a month

(every other week) but definitely once a month. Sorry

about that.

Why not call the case manager at SSF and tell her that you are below

goal weight and see if you can schedule and appt sooner or at least

be put on the cancellation list?? Take an active stance....the worse

that can happen is that you are where you are now....the best...you

get a date!!! GOOD LUCK

Azin, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Be present, available...eager. Call them, stop by, talk to people...let them know how ready you are...and then , if there is a cancellation...you'll be on their minds.

In the meantime, go to lots of support group meetings, read your binder over and over...and keep your fingers crossed!!!

First, congratulations on making your 10%+!!! Thant's a huge

accomplishment! Every bit over their recommendation will just make

the procedure easier for them to do and for you to recover from. I

was told to lose 40 lbs and by losing 65 was able to have it done

lap instead of open.

There are plenty of group support meetings you could attend, Azin,

if you feel you need something to help keep you motivated. Check

the calendar section. There's a pre-op support meeting at KSSF this

Saturday afternoon. (The post-op meeting is at 9:30, BTW.)

Azin, It's not " nutty " to feel this way at all! I can

feel your disapointment! Heck, I am disapointed for

you! But please hang in there, Azin! You are a

beautiful person both inside and out, and you deserve

to have a physically healthy body; a body that feels

good and one that you are comfortable in!

Good Luck!

Azin,

Hi....I know how you feel. I am exactly where you are. I finished my classes on July 8th and did all of my blood work, gall bladder ultrasound, EKG & chest x-ray. All of my paperwork has been submitted, now I wait for all the approvals. I am from So. Cal and they have you do everything and then they submit for approval. It is suppose to take 2 to 3 weeks. My paperwork was sent in on Aug. 4th. I will be having my surgery thru Crown Bariatrics in Wildomar. I have also done all of their pre-operative requirements except for the psych evaluation. They send you to one of theirs. Once I get the call from Crown, they usually get the approval before I do, surgery will be within 4 weeks. I am hoping for the 1st week of Oct.

I wish you luck on your journey....we have come along way....it will happen.
