Exploring and found the 40 something group!! I am in the pre-op phase and hopefully will have a surgery date next week. I am looking forward to following everyone's story. (non-stalker like)

I have done all the pre-tests with the exception of the sleep apnea test which is this Friday. I have been to the informational session and am scheduled for my pre-op support group on Monday the 6th. Before that meeting I get to schedule my wellness assessment which is a 4 hour appt. with the bariatric team of, nutritionists, nurses, and psychologist. It is to my understanding that after that meeting I will be giving my surgery date. According to the nurse it could be as early as late February......I have only been in the process since 1/1/15 I am in a pilot program with my job so I am lucky enough to not have to wait for insurance approval. Is that to fast?? Am I rushing it?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I'm in central florida between tampa and orlando. I live in Lakeland. Good luck on your search for a dr.

I am almost there, I have to have a sleep study done then a wellness assessment at the hospital. Anyone else in my area in the same boat?

:-)

Loving this group, everyone is so positive!!!

I did do extensive research before I put my name in at work for the program. Guess I just didn't expect it to go this quick.

Good luck and keep us updated!

Thanks for the vote of confidence

I am part of a pilot program at work and get to skip the food logs and insurance wait times. I have had all tests done except for my sleep study which is next week. So all I will have left is the wellness assessment at the hospital then I get my surgery date. This has all happened in the last 30 days. I thought I was ready but now I'm wondering if it's to quick. Anyone else have cold feet??

Wanting to follow this post...I eat chemical free now and would like to continue that after surgery. Is that possible?

I'm pre-op but have used MFP for over a year now...feel free to add me: sabrinacornelius

End of march :-)
