So I had completed my bariatric seminar 2weeks ago, that is required prior to meeting surgeon that is more like an informational session.
Had my first appointment with nutritionist and surgeon today! Had the run down of the entire process. Have my appointment for endoscope for April 13th. Walk in clinics for my labs, ekg and chest xray. Have my psych eval scheduled in April and my fist "medical supervised weight loss appointment" thisFriday.
I'm so excited. Feels kind of surreal. I made a few changes in my life recently knowing this is all for a healthier me. I've started drinking ONLY Water, at least 64oz a day. I've also quit smoking/consuming alcohol.
Origionally I was stressed over the 6months thing but honestly I'm kind of happy I have that time to mentally prepare and make changes.
Hoping for Sept surgical date!
I also can't wait to havr new comparison photos to show progress!

I had my pre op labs drawn in april (super early bc im inpatient) and my Iron saturation was "low" at 12% no big deal, started taking the iron +vit c BariMelts to get in a good routine for post op.
Went last week to get redrawn and low and behold my iron saturation dropped to 8%? Everything else comes back "normal".
Should I be worried? Anyone else have this pro orpost op?

Congrats! The time will go by fast. I started in February and have my tentative surgery date of August 20th. The only thing I have left to do is my endoscopy which is next Friday and my monthly nutritionist visits. Best of luck to you!

You’re the first person I found who’s at the same point in the process as I am![emoji30] At first the 6 month thing annoyed the hell out of me, but now I’m kind of thankful for it. Gives us lots of time to get accustomed to all the changes we have to make.

Congrats! Use the time to your advantage!

The six months goes so fast....and you're absolutely right that you need those six months to prepare, to learn, to make your changes gradually. Lots of work to do, and six months is just about right:) Great start! Best wishes:)

You are under anesthesia. You won’t remember or feel a thing.

I have already had my initial appointment. First appointment with the dietitian is next week. I am hoping for end of September or early October for my bypass.

I've had mine already should be getting bypass in September but no reason we can't support one another in this. How are you feeling what are you doing right now the little things I am noticing I am having a few cheat days still which I need help with but how are you doing do you have support

I just got my approval [emoji3]

Hi -
Stay on course and it's totally normal to be nervous and anxious. I am right there with you too as I have not shared with many of my family members but eventually will do so. Clock is ticking - my date is March 14th. Remember people will always have something to say but what matters most is that you're doing this for YOU.
All the best to you!!
