So the lady finally called me back!! I was asleep when she called so I really hope I got all the information she gave me right. My date is 3/15/10!!! 35 days away! WOW, only 35 days away. Hard to believe. She said I need to come in on March 2nd for my pre-op appointment. I can't remember everything she said about it but it sound like it will be about how to eat after surgery and about the pre-op diet too. I'll be talking with the surgeon and learning about fills. Also I'll have some tests done, like and ekg and stuff. Since I was sleepy, I would like to call and verify my dates and times but I feel like I can't because this lady seems so put out by her job. For her to call me back just to schedule my surgery it took like 30 calls and 3 messages. Since I'm paying these people $18,000, $5000 of which is coming straight out of my pocket, I think they should have better customer service skills. Seriously.
Anyway, so I'm so excited to know when this wonderful event is going to take place so that I can start planning and requesting time off. How long did you guys take off of work? I was thinking a week would do. OMG, you know what I just realized??? There's only 28 days in February! I only have 20 days left to eat like a normal person, well, a fat normal person lol! I don't know about you guys, but I plan on eating at a few of my favorite restaurants before I start my pre-op diet. Chinese food being one, and Olive Garden being the other. Also, I've been told I should have a fairwell piece of pizza and anything with a bun that I enjoy. To a person who hasn't struggled with their weight, this might sound kind of sick, but food has been a big part of my life. It's been there for me when I'm sad, or happy and it's even kept me company when I was just lonely or bored. I've loved it, hated it, it's been my bestfriend and also my enemy. So those bad habits and food choices deserve a proper fairwell in my opinion. A fairwell to fat week!!! I've loved you, but now it's time to go! Buh bye now! lol!

My surgeon's office has beastly secretary people too! I'm so happy for you to have your surgery date. i hope to get my March date at the end of this month. Good Luck!
WOO HOO!! You have a date. That is so exciting. It will be here before you know it.
You know what I miss the most since surgery? Sandwiches! I just can't bite into a sandwich anymore with breads and the fillings. I can eat wraps most of the time...but it's just not the same. So have a sandwich for me! LOL.
Congratulations on a date! How exciting!
Yay! A date to look forward to. The time will fly by fast. I had my surgery on a Friday, and went back to work on Monday. I wished I had taken a week off. I was so tired and the gas was killing me. Enjoy your "normal" food, it will be a while before you can eat those again. Although, I did eat @ Olive garden during my mushy phase.
I just got my date on Monday as well. I'm scheduled for the 17th. My birthday is on the 14th. So I can totally relate to your farewell to fat foodie week. There won't be any going out for a birthday dinner, no cake or ice cream this year. Just a chalky protein shake! LOL
