:thumbup:I will totally make it!! I would love to listen and get any information. You gals are all so nice!!!

Thank you so much everyone for welcoming me!! This is a huge journey ahead of me and its nice to know there are others out there so willing to give any information. My orientation in at Point WEst in Sacramento on the 5th of next month so a little over 2 weeks away YAY!! I have been reading so much stuff and its awesome. So here are my questions hehehehe...... I called into my PCP this morning and asked for a referal for the Nut and Psych, I got a call back from both to schedule appointments. Is it ok to get both of those appointments out of the way before orientation or is it pointless? Once I go to orientation, how long does it usually take to get a Surg apt? I have read on here some get them right away and some it takes a month or so. Do they schedule you at orientation? (i read that too) AND then.... Once I am done with orientation and I start the 1200 cal diet, whats the time frame and what happens next??? I guess I am jiust a little confused on the order of things... Im sorry for asking so many questions but you all see so helpful. Does everyone live in or near Sacramento?? Thanks again everyone . Nicole

Ok so because of reading everyone's posts, I just got a call from kaiser that my dr already forwarded a referal over to the Nutr and I left a message for Pysch. I am freakin out how quick. Now I just have to wait until orientation and I can start the diet. Thanks again all for the help!!

Hello everyone!! I have been reading all these posts for the last few hours at work and I am starting from the beginning. All of the information everyone has inputed is awesome. THANK YOu!! I have my orientation on October 5th and will take the advice of so many of you to start working on the 1200 calorie Pre op diet. I am so excited to start my journey. Just wanted to say thanks for all the info....
