started my process!

Last week I started the process for the sleeve surgery! At first I wanted the lap band only knowing about that and the bi-pass and the doctor talked to me about the sleeve and she felt it would be the best choice for me! So things are moving pretty quick I had my psych eval on Thursday and that went great! Today I had an ultrasound on my gallbladder and Wednesday I have my nutrition eval and a consultation for an EGD I'm so excited to get this going!!

    I attended the seminar a week ago and they said someone would be calling to set up an appointment with the surgeon in about two weeks. Guess what?! They called me today & my first appointment is next week! Whoo boo! I sure hope everything goes this fast.

    Today I had my consultation for me EGD (scope) and my nutritional evaluation both went great! My EGD was scheduled for July 30th but I got a call this afternoon and they moved it up to July 9th!! This makes me excited and nervous/ anxious then after that all I have left is to lose 10lbs and attend a nutrition seminar!!
