Hi! My initial consultation for WLS was on June 13 when I met my surgeon at Silver Cross Hospital in Illinois. The clearance for surgery has been started and I've already been cleared by the Psych Dr and have met with the cardiologist. Next up is a stress test and then a meeting with the Pulmonologist at the end of July. Today is my first nutrional meet--up. The gears are in motion and I find myself getting excited at the prospect that this surgery will change my life. Yes, I will miss certain things in life after my surgery (Thanksgiving stuffing with gravy) but the upside is that my life will be led more fully again! It's a trade off that I'm looking forward too! Wish me luck, please.
