ahhhhhhhhhhhh - good things do come to those who "weight"!!!!

you'll find lotttttts of good info on the boards

there is a search button top right hand area - always good to use

check out a couple of good books

WLS for Dummies

also theres a good book you can order from "here" too with great reading prepping you for WLS

probably as time for WLS gets closer - you might practice eating in moderations, drinking alot, plus much more

Thank you for the input. I wish it was happening now. But gotta go thru doctor and insurance protocol. Good luck to you.

I'm planning on January 2014 too! But that's mainly cuz I'm self pay and just about out of vacation time this year. And I want to change my habits so they'll be similar or easier to adapt to post surgery. I'm thinking of this time as the learning period. I've been reading on here for about a month and registered a week or so ago to start asking questions. Yay! I'm so excited to start on this new journey towards health!

It's great to meet someone that's going to have surgery around the same time as me

I am going thru the insurance and doctor requests. But I am anxious to get this done. I know I will feel so much better. I have 8 doctor appointments this month. Then I am just waiting for insurance and doctor feedback. Good luck to you. Glad to see others reborn the waiting game toon good luck to ya all.

I am 4 months out...a few suggestions I would recommend are.to give up sodas if you drink them soon ....learn to love water...and maybe begin using Myfitnesspal as a way to keep up with calories...its surprising how little bit of foods adds up so fast.

I am having Gastric Sleeve on 2/10/2014 with Dr. Alvarez. I am excited and nervous! 6 months will likely fly by. :-)

I got my clearance from the cardiologist today. Part of the dr and insurance requirements. I am so happy. I'm excited and nervous too but mostly excited. Wish I could do it now.

Yes fitness pal is great. I use it all the time. Keep up the good work on your post op diet. I am on the diabetic diet and am loosing nothing. I can't seem to get it regulated. I see the Endroconologist tomorrow. I got my cardiologist approval today. To say the least I am so excited. 5 months to go. I have to do the 6 month diet thing to for insurance. Keep up the good work those months will fly by.

Yay! I'm glad to see some people scheduled with me! I should be on the January schedule.

Officially began this journey on July 16th, and have quite a few of my insurance's requirements done.

So far, I've done:

EKG

EDG

Lab work

Chest xray

Psych visit (both done)

NUT visit 1st of 2

Family health history outline

Visit with pre-surgery doc, 1 0f 6

I'm scheduled for the exercise eval and 1st of 2 Behavioral meetings on 8/22, next week. It's moving right along!

I am having my surgery with dr. Ortiz on February 17, 2914! ????

I am having my surgery on Jan 2! Yeah! I have my NUT class, Pre-Op work-up, and last visit with my surgeon before I see him in January next month. I will also only have one week of liquid diet before surgery! Yeah too! I have to start it the day after Christmas. I am sooo excited! My nerviousness has not set in yet. I'm sure it will though.
