It really was a blessing to hear their stories and meet some folks from the office, Erin the Nut spoke too, she was so kind! I'm feeling antsy and wanting my consult o be tomorrow already...but alas, it's two weeks away :/ good luck at your upcoming apps, imagine if we got same surg day!? -
That's wonderful! Congrats and best wishes on your journey to a new YOU!

I'm right there with ya, only my Mom, hubby, one friend and neighbor who's daughter is babysitting for us and beginning to inquire what we need sitting so often for these days for...told her mom to keep it quiet for now until I decide what I want to do. I am the same usually an open book, but the judgement I know I'll face has me thinking why bother!? Still trying to decide for feel of hurt feelings on some family & friends part, like would they be offended I didn't think they'd be supportive? It's a tough choice!

So Excited finally got my date
CrissyRing77 replied to blessed252's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yay that is SO exciting!!!! I am going to check out the support group this week and hopefully make a consult with him as well! I've been to Fair Oaks for the seminar with Dr. Moazzez he was great, but want to check all my options so to speak! What's Dr Halmi's bedside manor like, I've heard great things about both! If you don't mind me asking can you share your timeline with me and are you self pay or insurance? I will be self pay bc our insurance is privately run by my hubby's company and a strict no bariatric surgery clause :/ would love to follow your progress! Best of luck to you, hoping I'm not too far behind ya -

Wow, you look amazing! I'm sorry you had complications, so scary! Can you explain your symptoms that alerted you of the problem!? Not that the surgeon won't tell me when I have my surgery, but good to know!
