I feel your pain!
I think I waited something like 10-12 weeks after everything else was done because my surgeon was besieged with new patients. As it turns out, during that time I put myself on my own diet and lost a whole whopping 10 pounds by counting calories, chewing slower, drinking more water, and started moving again ... slowly. I think at some point I just relaxed into the situation, realizing that I was going to have to live differently for the rest of my life so I should just go ahead and start doing that.
HOWEVER ... the time period when I just about drove everyone crazy was the six months prior to getting all the appointments scheduled -- visits with the psych, nutritionist, surgeon, insurance overseer, etc. Getting those appointments was not easy either, since those folks were equally besieged by new patients.
I'm just glad no one told me to go ... well, you know what, since my behavior truly qualified me for that kind of response.
All is forgiven now, because I'm a star post-op patient.
"Look at me, I'm Sandra Dee!" LOL!
