Guest guest Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 October 16th at SSF, provided that I lose 19 more lbs. I have already lost 31 lbs in 39 days. Figure .795 lbs per day it should take me 24 more days making my projected 50 lbs loss date October 3rd. There, now it is in print so I have no choice but to make it happen. For those of you just starting the process here is my timeline with the usual disclaimer of " your mileage may vary " January 2003 - Decide to pursue sugery and start the process. March 4th - All pre -referal appointments completed and paperwork sent to SSF April 16th - Received approval letter for surgery at SSF. Letter says orientation won't be scheduled for 10 to 12 weeks. They weren't kidding. August 2nd - Orientation Day. 1200 Calorie a day diet begins. Told I have to lose 50 lbs before surgery (slightly less than 10% of my weight) August 6th - meet Dr. Stiles. Given a list of tests and appointments I need to complete. Told I need to lose 1/2 of the 50lbs before being scheduled for surgery. September 4th - last test completed. Lost at least 1/2 of the weight I have to lose. September 10th - Assigned a surgery date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
