I was also approved in April. I completely understand your frustration. I'm not sure who your surgeon is but I called Dr Birch's office and spoke with the lady who does the surgery booking. She said dec or jan. and the people approved in feb/mar were getting booked for oct/nov surgery dates. and that its closer to 8-9 month wait. Don't give up you are in the home stretch. Good luck
Hi there
I, too, was approved in April and am still waiting. I had appointments on the 18th of September at the WW clinic and was told that those who'd been approved in February were receiving surgery. Hope that helps some!

I don't knoe why my weight didn't change on my tracker.... :S So I've lost 150lb in total
It's sound like an eternity since I came here last time....
So as you see on my tracker, I'm still loosing pounds.... and I'm still grateful for my sleeve....I start my journey a BMI 60 and I'm now at 38...The other day I realize that I have lost the equivalent of my two older sons weight put together...I was trying to figure if I can do all I was doing before with the two of them on my shoulders...I was impress of my strength at that time.....just going out of bed will be impossible for me now with 130lb more on me....
a lot of changes appeared in my life....I did a major hair style improvement last spring....I change my wardrobe since nothing fits me anymore....I have a new job for over a month now.....I'm definitely embracing my life and do everything that I wish I could do for a long time....
I don't pass as much time on the computer now...so that's why I'm not coming more often....but I try to come and read some posts once a week....
And for those who are not sure if they should get the surgery or not....in my case it definitely worth it...I have now the chance to see my sons growing up and be a part of their life....
Have a great friday!
Hi there ,
I have not had the surgery yet, not until Nov 7th ( so soon ) grins.
I have met 2 ladies through here that have both had their surgeries done. We were all hoping to get together last month but " life " would not let us !! I hope that we all can get together asap.
I know for myself that I would certainly like to meet you and the other 2 lovely ladies. I will send an invite for private chat and we can connect there.

Hi,
I have followed my treatment plan with diet and exercise for years, in addition to many various treatment routes and medications. I am not overweight other than my abdomen and that is directly related to my diabetes and liver disease. I WAS NOT referred to the Weight Wise Clinic in itself, but to see Dr. Birch there for a consult regarding an experimental surgery for me- gastric bypass to treat severe intractable diabetes. I have talked to other surgeons in the world to hopefully see which gastric/intestinal operation would be the most likely to help me. I was not implying that the surgeons at the WWC were anything but the best. I would love to have support and guidance in my journey with this but very few people know what it is like to have diabetes to the extent I do, so I do feel alone and overwhelmed at times. I live as positive as I can but as time goes on and my complications become more and more severe, I am losing faith. This surgery gives me a spark of hope again but I know with it carries great risk. I am just trying to find out and research it all as much as I can so I make an informed choice.
Thank you for your comments and words of encouragement.
