Hmmm they had our dietician at our orientation and the case manager said that we got a 2-for-1. She went over meal plans , foods and all the stages. Everything. The case manager said she schedules the appts. After we meet the therapist. She said always bring your binder because you never know. They weighed us. Met Dr Im he went over the diff surgeries. Met the therapist and he told us what's he expects and have the forms filled out. Then we met the dietician But no telling I filled out all the forms and the quiz so I don't have to rush and do anything last min. She said that half the people never have the forms and they reschedule people of not completed.

I just looked at my calendar. I went on July 20 dang. I was gone say lets take this journey together lol. I'm so nervous yet anxious. I keep reading 10% of the weight I'm like Oh lord. I just I'm just worrying to death I have to wait and see what he says. The case manager that led the class said that it's usually takes 2-4 months to get surgery it's all up to us. I'm hoping for sept but i seems the appointments are 3-4 weeks apart so I'm not sure. And yes !!! Best of luck.

I'm curious if they give you x amount of weight to lose. Does that have to be all off before surgery , do they just keep rescheduling you ? I wish I could meet with the surgeon before 8/22

@Dimples58 how much weight did you have to lose. ? How are you feeling now?

Thanks for responding. I had my orientation June as well and met with dr IM July too. They seem to schedule the appointed a month out. So far so good. Ive been doing research outside of the binder. Weighing the pros and cons and I'm ready. I'm so anxious I hope they don't give me some crazy number to lose pre Op. I swear I've been on a diet 2 weeks and the scale hasn't moved. I wonder were you in the same class as me.
