Yesterday I had my third nutritionist visit and also had my psych consult. This is officially the halfway point. I must admit that I do have one regret - I went to the free (required) seminar in May - but I didn't have my initial consultation until July - which throws me literally in a race against time to make it in by the end of the year to prevent my deductible from resetting or (hopefully not the case) my insurance dropping coverage for the surgery - I have UHC through HCA. If I had only gone to the initial consult right away I'd be slated to get sleeved in October!! Oh well, hopefully I make it in by the end of the year.

Here's to the halfway point! Almost there!

Just keep calling and being open if a cancelation pops up. Do every visit you can as soon as you can and follow every instruction, even double check that someone else did not make an error that will hold you up. I did and was able to turn what everyone sad would be a year into a six month process. Hope it works out for you that things can go faster then expected, use this time to prepare for the necessary lifestyle changes and loose as much as possible so you are that much closer to your goal.

Congratulations . That's a good feeling!

You're gonna be great! I'm 22 lbs down from my Aug 20 surgery date! My first follow up visit was today!
