Hi All Mel there. I am a newbie too. I went to the weight-loss seminar about two months ago. It took me two months to get an appointment to see the surgeon. Today was my first appointment with the surgeon I had all my questions prepared the meeting went very well. Then the doctor told me based on my insurance company. I'm required to do a six-month diet weigh in before the insurance company will grant approval along with about 7 other test. I was hoping to get my surgery in January. Now it looks like around May for me. I was not happy with that. Since it is what it is I figured I'll just use the time to do some more research and try my best to lose some more weight on my own before the surgery It would be cool for us to stay in touch with each other and check on each other since we're waiting for that magic day.

MrsGlow. Love your post it's very helpful. I am just starting the process. Today is my first day meeting with the surgeon. I am very nervous about the surgery but know it will be very helpful in the long run. Your words are very helpful. Good that you are doing so well. God bless

Thanks for your response. Do you mind if I ask how long was you in the hospital. I noticed some people say 1 day and some people say 2 days. I have my first appointment today with the surgeon. I have been writing down all my questions I have for him

FutureMrs.Bee. I'm just following up to see how your surgery went and how you feeling. At first I was leaning towards Lapband but have decided on the sleeve. My Primary Doctor said it would be better for me. Tomorrow is my first appointment with Dr. Holiver. I'm looking forward to finally starting. I had to wait a month for an appointment then he cancelled because of an emergency. So I had to wait another Month. So tomorrow is the first day of the journey. So tell me about the surgery. We're you in a lot of pain after.

Hello everyone. I have enjoyed reading everybody's post. I'm just starting the process. I'm having my first appointment with the surgeon next week. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Someone told me the first two weeks after the surgery is the hardest. Good luck to everyone who is already beginning their new journey. I can't wait till it's my turn

Bodacious how are you feeling now it's been a week are you feeling better I'm waiting on a surgery date and really nervous

Thank you so much. Having the surgery is a big thing but being apart of a support group and reading everyone's stories is very helpful I will keep you posted

Do you mind if I ask you some questions since I'm having my surgery at the same place. After the surgery was you in much pain How long did you have to stay in the hospital. When my surgery happens I'm going to take a week vacation time off. I'm hoping I can return to work after that.

This information is very helpful. I'm just starting the process. I have my first appointment with Dr. Holiver in two weeks I am so ready to start this weight loss journey. I have done my research for the last 6 months and now I am ready.

I would love to join. Please let me know the details.
