Hi Everyone who took the time to read this. This is my first post I have been reading up on a lot of great information to prepare me for my journey. My first Drs. appointment is tomorrow so I am very early on in this process, not sure what all will happen tomorrow but I am very excited to get this rolling, I have already had my seminar, my family doctors visit (I go every 3 months due to the multiple heath issues) and now were just at a waiting point for my nut class and my blood work, ekg,chest x ray and because Im over 50 I have to have a stress test I hoping this all gets scheduled before I leave his office tomorrow....Wish me luck!

Thanks Don and Prettynpink

Welcome and best of luck!!! Keep us posted on how it goes.

Hey there, Janie! Welcome to the boards--it really is a great place to ask questions, get a sense of all the different experiences that are out there, and get yourself prepared for this huge change. I'm pre-op too, hoping to have a surgery date given to me after my psych workshops next month. It definitely does fly by once you start getting a few appointments under your belt.

Congratulations for taking this step towards health and happiness for YOU!

Good luck Janie! Enjoy EVERY minute of this journey, it's a wild ride - have fun!!!! One year after surgery, you will not believe how different your life is!!!! I've been over the top excited since I woke up in recovery!!!! Again....good luck!

It goes so fast you will not believe it.God Bless and Prayers.

I just turn 51 yesterday and todays visit and getting appointments on record is the best present yet!!
