its been awhile , I know!
Well since we've last spoke my surgery date was a guesstamation but now I've went to the seminar on the 18  and have my doc appt on the 30th of this month.. in the meantime I'm gonna look for two bariatric surgery support groups and attend those because with Montefiore hospital it is a REQUIREMENT! I'm tryna breeze thru all this as soon as possible considering i was supposed to get the surgery 2yrs ago i believe I'm as well informed as I will be... Ive gained weight yet again! and I'm feeling pretty hopeless at this point.. I see my friends on here are doing great for the most part.. wish me luck with all my appts from here on out.. hopefully ill be banded by the end of July
