I just started my process. Had my first consultation with surgeon on may 22nd. He put my on my 6 month diet and process to complete the various tests. But I was shocked and super happy that my pcp wants to send the request to my insurance by September!! I have my appointment with the nutritionist on Tuesday. I have alot of questions for I'm a little confused about Protein.< /p>

I know it's very exciting all I can think about is this time next year and how i will look and feel I'm right with you how many months did you say you have to wait? -

I saw my primary care last week. He said they do it to weed people out. That a lot of patients don't bother with all 6 visits and then just drop off. I know one thing; I will be there with bells on for the next 6 months! This surgery is happening!

nic_89 reacted to All done in It's all i think about
Hi all..
i am in this catagory too. I am consumed by the fact my surgery is in 30 days. Yep 30 days. i am self pay in Mexico with Dr. Zavalza so I didnt have the 6 month wait that I have seen on here...but it has been 3 months since I chose to do this. My biggest thing is stalking forums...lol even some Facebook groups that I been added too.
It goes over and over in my mind. I am trying to stay focused on how hard it is going to be right after when we are learning to eat. But I am still keeping on eyes on the big prize.
So excited for everyone...good luck and stay strong..

Its funny because I thought that I was the only one obsessing about having this surgery. I too have imagined myself buying smaller clothes, walking/running or even climbing steps without being winded, and amusement park rides...Its scary because as soon as those thoughts pop up it seems like the little devil on my shoulder starts taunting me with worries about not getting approved through insurance or the surgery not working for me. Since I made this decision I have researched, researched and researched some more. I've actually been able to tell some of my coworkers who have had this surgery things. Every time I get a call from the Surgeons office regarding another step in this process, I get excited and can't wait to get to my computer to research the new step. (I've already had my Psych eval and the second of the three required classes at my surgeons office is scheduled. My one and only Nut appointment is this coming Wednesday and my Endoscopy will be sometime next month.) Its a long road to surgery and its nerve wracking and scary....
Thankfully, we have this message board and all the wonderful people here to lean on and help us along our journey. I wish you luck in you journey!

I too have been in research overload ever since I decided to pursue this surgery! I have Kaiser and have attended a wls overview, which is the first of many hoops to jump through. It's amazing the amount of information out there!

@Babbs@nic_89
Amen to Babbs. Enjoy the research. The funny thing is even a year out I'm learning new things. I'm so excited for you.

nic_89 reacted to Babbs in It's all i think about
That's okay! We've all obsessed about it. I suggest you take the time pre op to cram as much information about the surgery as you possibly can by reading articles, this forum, anything you can get your hands on! That way you can be as prepared as you possibly can for the new changes that will be coming your way. A great book I would suggest (Besides Alex Brecher's Big Book of Gastric Sleeve of course!) is The Emotional First Aid Kit by Cynthia Alexander. It's all about the emotional aspects of having the surgery that, quite frankly, took me by surprise.
After all, they only do surgery on your stomach, not your brain.
