Moving Along With The Process....



Recommended Posts

I had to go to my psych social visit yesterday and she told me I have "graduated" from having to see her. I saw her a total of three times. I have one person on the bariatric team who thinks I am ready for surgery! Yea! At the local bariactric program it is a team approach, all members on the team have to agree the person is ready for surgery before they can get a surgery date. I started the process of this mid Jan and have an 2nd indiv. nutritionist apt tommorrow and group nutrition classes on 3/8/12 then another visit with the bariactric physical therapist 3/29/12. A person doesn't get a surgery date for 6 months to 2 years so I am hoping I am one of the 6 months people and will get a date this summer like in July! Trying to stay motivated while I wait. I don't have to do weight loss visits through my PCP due to my insurance but the bariatric program still requires them. I go to my 2nd one next Fri.

I can't wait to get a surgery date!!!

Thanks everyone! It's is a long time to wait but I hope I can be one of the ones that gets a surgery date right after 6 months so maybe July of this year! Trying to stay motivated and change things I can now before surgery so it will be easier after surgery to be sucessful with the surgery!

There are so many inconsistencies with pre-op requirements it's hard to know which direction any of us will be going! My first thought is "6 months...ugh" but then I remember that my journey started 4 months ago already and I go to my consult next week. It has given me time, though, to throughly think this through and go forward without hesitation. Best of luck.

@ topgun...you are exactly right. I have a friend who had lap band and I recently asked her how quick she was able to have surgery starting from her first consult. She didn't have to do the 6 mth diet either...she said 1 mth...WOW....and then hearing others talk about how long their process is. Everyone IS different. I am hoping to get a clear idea of what my process will be like on Monday when I see my NUT and the surgeons insurance clerk for the first time...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
