Getting appointment for surgery

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I got to within 5 lbs of my goal to get surgery. I was told in my

visit with Dr. Dutta that if I got to that point I could call and get

scheduled. The caveat being that they would schedule the appointment

so I could lose the last five pounds while waiting. I called on

Monday and still haven't heard. After reading the posts I was

wondering is there a full schedule at Fremont Kaiser so they wouldn't

schedule me like until May - July? I will call again on Friday, as

maybe they haven't gotten my message yet. I called the line where

you give your stats to let them know where you are. My hubby and I

are going on vacation the last week of August and 1st week of July.

I was kind of hoping to have had the surgery and already recovered.

I guess I will just wait and see.

Little note for Ron. I struggled trying to get to the point I am

now. It has been very hard. The advice to at least walk or exercise

(haha not that walking isn't exercise) for 30 min a day really will

help. I am making myself do that and a little more. I have to say

it does make me feel better, ugh exercise, but if I go right after

work I manage to get it done and don't become a couch potato. I

suspect it will be a struggle even to maintain while I am waiting for

appointment to keep goal weight when I get there. I think it will be

worth the struggle.

take care everyone,

Judith

Congrats Judith and great advice. I wish you well and

I hope you will receive a call with a date. Be

encouraged because everything we have to go through to

get to the " other side " is so well worth it.
