Hi everyone, I got my tentative date today of June 23rd. They are just waiting for the results of my sleep study. For all of you that are in the beginning stages here is some info that I would love to have known. Seminar- March 6th 3 hr appt- April 16th completed all tests Appt. w/ Dr. Hoffman- May 27th Surgery scheduled for -June 23rd I hope that helps anyone that likes to know a time frame like I do!

Im telling you I have taken so much sick/vacay days off of work for these appts that Im not going to have any time left to have the surgery. I'll have to go back to work the next day at this rate. LOL.

Yes you have to go to a 2nd dietician appt one month after your initial visit. My 2nd appt is tomorrow with Jeanne.

Tanitas are the best. I've had mine for over 10 years and it is very accurate.

For those of you that had Dr. Hoffman, when you went for your appointment with him did they schedule your surgery date then? Just wondering so I can plan ahead. thanks

What I wont miss... 1. being so self conscious-thinking everybody staring at you and talking about you. 2. shopping with skinny friends when you know you cant fit into anything cute. 3. going out thinking you look cute but only to see your reflection and learn the truth! 4. knowing that no guy in the bar is interested in you, just your skinny friends 4. having no self esteem or self worth 5. having your mother tell you everyday how fat you are 6. being skinny once to only have gained it all back 7. not being able to play and run with my daughter 8. waiting for the day your daughter says " mommy why are you fat?" 9. not going on the rides at the amusement park for fear you will be asked to get off. and on and on...........

Chilly, Im also from Buffalo and just turned in my paper work with Dr Forbes. I would love to ask you a few questions if you don't mind. Like how long did it take for you to get a call and how long was it between then and your scheduled surgery. Any info would be greatly appreciated
