I just had my base weight weigh in and my first appointment with the LPN is in October. But I have all my appointments set and ready to go. Actually will be done with them before I visit with the LPN for the first time! Just started the south beach diet. My dr wants me down 5% before surgery. That is a requirement for all his patients. I would love to be down 10%. I'm on day 2 of the first phase and it's tough! It's getting better! I have a friend who did it and met another woman locally. I'm excited... Not nervous yet... Looking forward to a new and improved me!!

Anyone local just starting out?

I live in Cheektowaga and was just sleeved August 29th. Who is your surgeon?

Albany, New York here. My journey started in June, just got my surgery date Wednesday and I will be sleeved October 9th! It's a rough journey, but has been and will continue to be well worth it!

good to hear! Same with your dr!! Thx

Just starting my journey to a new me! sent from my iPad

The journey seems long but you will be post op before you know! I knew I loved my new sleeve from the second I came out of surgery! And it's so fun to find new healthy recipes. I've never been a "health freak" but I'm sure on my way there now. I'm 3 weeks out and loving life

did you meet with his staff yet? I'm going tomorrow for my first visit. Had my sleep study already. Looking forward to seeing how much weight I lost in my first 4 weeks of ore op!

I went in for my original weigh in and the first seminar. My first official appointment is in November. I do have my psych test and sleep eval scheduled (Sleep study is Wednesday, psych eval is first week in November). I am hoping that if i lose my 5% body weight (or make great progress) before my first appointment they won't make me wait another 4 weeks before the next appointment. I was trying to find someone else local that was going through the process:). I have a friend that did it a year ago at buffalo general and she's very happy. Another friend of mine did it a few months ago in pa. Have you done anything else to prepare?
