Welcome to the journey! I'm right there with ya! My next consult is this Thursday! #2

Just had my first consult on Wednesday. I will probably have surgery in March or April.

I have my script for my bloodwork and need to get it done this week since my next apt is next Thursday! I'm running out of time! I met with the cardiologist and had an ekg and they're scheduling me for a stress test and a home sleep study. Hopefully my insurance cooperates. I like the medical team so that helps. Your a little further along than I am if your going in January! Are you super excited? Lebanon huh! Your far away from me! My friends husband is from there! Great guy.

@@claddagh66 Yes of course we can keep in touch. I had my blood test done till now and having the endoscopy by next week hopefully. I am from Lebanon, in the Middle East area

My surgeon is Dr Eid. He is with Allegheny Health. I'm pretty sure I would go to Magee also.

Good luck wishes to you lizziebeth72!!! How exciting!!! I hope you have a great experience!

meganliz0824 how did everything go for you? How are you doing so far???

My surgeon is also Dr. Eid. I really like him but I love Chloe and the dietitians! Good luck!

Good luck to you Sgt7546!!!

That's so exciting!!! Wow! I wish you much luck! Let's keep in touch so we can keep tabs on each other! So happy for you! Where are you from? I too am having the sleeve but just got started on all of this just this month so I'm looking at may

Hello and good luck to you. Today was by 2nd visit to the doctor and I approximately got the date; it might be on 13 January. I'm excited and nervous all at same time. I'm having the sleeve.

Betterme38 I would love that! I just got started this month so I'm on the same scheduling as you. We can definitely work together to help each other!

Can you take zophran for nausea?

Thanks so much rking!

I never heard of him

Ya that's what I'd be doing too! That has to be so tender. Which office did you go to for all your appointments?

Lizziebeth72 I really liked meeting with Chloe also! I met the 3 of them a couple weeks ago. Great experience. Staff is great. I go back again next week and also do my psych consult. I was bad tho, I didn't do the food diary!!!????

Wow! Impressed with how well your doing! Good for you! Any chance you could wear like stretchy pants or sweats till you heal a little more so things are a little looser in that spot?

So excited to hear you did so well! I can relate to being fussy I too am in the medical field. Are you extremely tender? Weak? How was your first and second day? Oh I'm so nervous! I'm just getting started. I have 5 more months! I'm looking at May for mine. I heard the emotional roller coaster is normal. Look at all the trauma that's happened. Your going to feel so good so soon!!!

My surgeon is Dr Eid. He is with Allegheny Health. I'm pretty sure I would go to Magee also.

Good luck wishes to you lizziebeth72!!! How exciting!!! I hope you have a great experience!
