Ok so today is my first official appt for anything and everything vsg. I am like and emotional roller coaster right now I'm so excited and so nervous I have absolutely no idea what is going to go one with this appt. I am so excited to get it started though since I apparently have a 7 month diet I have to complete first. Anybody wanna fill me in on how their very first appt with the baratric center went?

I just had my first visit today and I pretty much feel as you do. I'm excited but at the same time all this makes me nervous. I've been reading a lot of posts of people who have been sleeved and had complications. That's my biggest worry since I really can't take much time off from work.

i meet with the surgeon and my patient navigator. Went over medical history and scheduled more appts. Surgeon said I would make an excellent candidate for the sleeve. I have an order for a massive amount of blood work (including stool sample) I have an appt scheduled for and upper endoscopy ( where they put the tube down your through to check for hernias and stuff I have two appts scheduled for the 18th one for my behavioral health and one with the doc that will be doing my diet!!! I also have to have a mamogtam done as well and pay $100 for education classes. I am sooo excited to have this ball on a roll!!!!

My seminar was Oct 10th and my Surgeon Consult was Oct 26th - I am still atleast a month out and you know what? The time flies!!!!! Hopefully next week will be my last Nutritionist meeting, but I havent really lost weight like she wanted so we will see how that goes!! The holidays were rough! Good luck to you both on your journeys.....I cant wait to be on the losers bench!

I was all self pay, so I don't want to bore you with my personal story.. But I would like to wish you well on your new journey! Taking that first step is the hardest but you can't go anywhere without it.

HUGS!! You will make your way, no doubt.
