Potential Surgery Date!!!! HOORAY

I got a call from Dr. Malik's office on Tuesday I have a potential surgery date of August 12. It was really awesome because I am able to have my consultation with Dr. Malik via the phone on June 10th ( apparently they will do this if you have seen the doctor in the last year. I saw Dr. Malik in March) I have been cleared for surgery but I use the word "potential" only because you never know if Dr. Malik will change the date or something happens that changes my date. I am really hoping nothing happens to change the date. I am so excited but scared at the same time.  It is a journey getting to this point.

Congratulations. It is awesome to hear how your journey has progressed. I did my orientation in May and have finished the bloodwork, ecg, and sleep test. Now it is just a waiting game for me. 

I am very excited for you and hope you will keep us posted over the next two months.

Congratulations!! Send you positive vibes for the scheduled date. I will be seeing Carla and Dr. Zetner at the end of July. Hoping to be on the losing side soon.

A friend of mine had surgery with Dr. Malik last November and now she's running 5K and down 88lbs. 

Best of luck to you!!
