This whole DS surgery process...

[Guest guest]

I was so hyped when I first signed up and now I'm feeling terribly low and

discouraged about this whole process. From what I have read here so far it

seems that the process of actually getting this surgery is a long one. And

the recovery time is not short either. This is a major big time life deal.

I wanted to just walk into the doctors office, fill out the papers, schedule

the surgery, have the surgery, and loose the weight. LOL. Instant

gratification.

It's all I can think about, but I only have 3 more days of sick leave left

this year. I've used up the other 7 already because I'm so overweight,

unhealthy, and get sick all the time. Perhaps I could see Dr. for the

consult and then schedule the surgery sometime in January? I'd hate to wait

that long, but I don't know what else to do. His office is probably an hour

and a half from my work so I'd have to use one whole day just to go to the

consultation.

Could someone offer a strategy here? I'm feeling very overwhelmed.
