Tuesday I was suppose to have a phone call appointment with my SW, 10am came and went...nothing??? So at 10:30 I called her, got a machine, left a message...and waited. 1pm I call again, left another message and waited. 4pm I called and left yet another message. This time I also sent an email. Feeling nervous cause I was meeting my Dr the next day. 
Wednsday, I leave for the city, get there ahead of time, so I did some shopping!!!
Got to the Dr office and waited, and waited, and waited. 
My appoinments was for 11:30. Got in at 1pm (not to bad). Had a quick chat, he triple checked I wanted to proceed, that I knew the risks, that I was pre paired. YES,YES and YES!!!!
So we signed all the consent forms an I went out to get my package. 
I don't have a definite date (yet) but I'm officially on the wait list!!!!! Depending how many OR times slots they get for July and August weither it not I get in. It most likely will be September. 
I've been chatting with some local woman and it's great to have them. 1 is post op (RYN Feb), 1 is scheduled end if may, and another is just beginning the process (seminar in June). It's awesome to be able to help them and encourage them. It's also amazing to see their transformations. 
So currently I'm in limbo again, #22 people will get dates before me but that's ok. It will go past quick. The down side is I have to do 3 weeks of optifast 😜
So I will at least get that much notice. Till then I will continue with what I've been doing and continue to lose weight (at what seems like a snails pace) and hope that I'm down at least another 20-30 lbs before I check in! 
Now I'm going to share with you a photo I took April 1, 2014...this was the day I did all my clinic appointments and this will be the offical photo of the start if my journey threw RYN. I've been holding the photo for 6wks. Kind of afraid to share, but it is the reality and it will keep me motivated to stay focus!

So, so exciting!! Good luck - I hope your turn comes quickly (waiting is awful!)
