I had my nutrition and psych eval last week and am very excited to say that I was told I could pretty much chose my surgery date in september! I have decided to go with the middle of september, likely the 15th or 16th due to a vacation that I have at the end of august. My family just felt that being on a liquid diet while on vacation would not be a good time, and even though it is stalling me-- I agree. Until then, I have been continuing to watch what I eat, began replacing lunch with Protein Shakes (so far my favorite is EAS 100% whey Protein Powder in vanilla with unsweetened almond milk, it's 26g of Protein and 180 cals for the powder and milk), exercising and doing so much research that my eyes and brain hurt. I am getting my gallbladder removed with my sleeve procedure, so I am trying to prepare myself as much as possible before next month... I'm sure it's going to be rough.

@@GoodiDre everything has been great so far! Dr Lowe is amazing. I definitely recommend you check them out.

Charlotte, NC here! Just beginning the process.

I consider myself very lucky! My mother had gastric bypass with the same insurance 4 years ago and was required to do a 6 month supervised diet. She was very surprised when she found out I wasn't. Thank you for being welcoming ladies!

Just began my journey, but my insurance doesn't require a supervised diet so my surgeon said September is realistic. Next stop- Psych eval the 23rd, NUT apt the 28th then SUBMITTING TIME! I'm very excited to move on into this chapter of my life, considering i've been overweight since BIRTH. haha

Welcome!

Bjcarver you are lucky no wait time

I met Dr. Roc Bauman today for the first time. He's doing my surgery on Nov. 3rd. He is awesome. I really enjoyed talking to him and learned a lot from him. He's straight forward, but that is awesome! I can tell he cares a lot about his patients. I'm glad this change was made. I was originally seeing Dr. Ian Villanueva for my surgery, but he's no longer there. So, my case went to Dr. Bauman.
