Well I am in the parking lot of Bmi of utah just about ready to go in for my first visit. Wish me luck.

Got the call from my doctor's office this morning. I need to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 6:30 am for my procedure at 8:45. Very excited and a little nervous. Feel like I'm saying good bye to an old friend (85% of my stomach). Had a nice Breakfast this morning and now It's just liquids.< /p>
I started this journey in December of last year and now it's finally here. Feels strange yet exciting. Can't wait to drop the weight and get my health back. Looking forward to getting into some form fitting business suits and feeling like i want to look in the mirror again. Looking forward to looking forward to being in a picture when they are being taken instead of making excuses to be out of them. Looking forward to catching a glimpse of myself in a window or mirror reflection and being proud of what I see.
I know that the next few days won't be the easiest but will be well worth the pain for the lifetime of gain.
So tonight I put the patch on behind my ear, take a my blood pressure medication before leaving the house in the wee hours of the morning and head into a brighter future.
I've decided to wear my Superman baseball cap to the hospital tomorrow because that is how I hope to feel when I reach my goal.
Best of luck to everyone having their surgeries. See you all on the post op forums.

Hey there "SUPERMAN!!"
You go get this done and destroy the weight like Superman. I still have 6 plus months to wait. My first Apt is Aug 6th with My surgeon. Keep that High spirit and give us all an update. Keep in mind why you are doing this and use it. While I take my journey I look forward to watching yours. Much love!

I have my first Appt with my Surgeon on Aug 6th. I am at least 6 months out because my insurance requires 6 month weight management be done before approval. Long trek but it will be over in no time.

Just got the call for my first Appt. Aug 6th for first visit. Here is to everything moving along.

My 1st visit wasn't about 2 hours. I spent about an hour filling out paperwork. My surgeon went over the procedure (and every test and requirement I'd have to fulfill before surgery), explained what realistic expectations I should have for weight loss and made sure I knew enough about the different types of bariatric surgery to make an informed decision. Afterwards, I had my 1st visit with the nutritionist.

Thanks for the kind words. I just filled out and emailed in my paper work to schedule my first visit. So I have a long while still. I am working to prepare myself physically and mentally to make it is as smooth as It can be. Much love to all those who have come before and to all those who are in the process.

Grats. I just got started and I am in fear of the long road ahead. Lots of hoops to jump through. The Journey has got to begin somewhere.
