Just joined tonight! So much good information and advice on here! I am thrilled I found this :-) still lots to read.

I am just starting my WLS journey! So far I have had first appointment with my surgeon and had my endoscopy procedure this past Friday. Next week I see the dietitian for the first time and the psych doctor. I look forward to posting and sharing information and experiences!

Happy New Year 2013!

Welcome so glad you found us. There is a wealth of information and support here. Never hesitate to ask or share. We are so happy to go through this journey with you. Again Welcome.

Well from the sound of it you're doing awesome! Wish me luck because I'm scared to death

My surgery is 2/14 and preop is 2/8 @ 8am and said to expect most of the day. I know it shows X-rays , blood work, EKG again, nutritionist again.

To check your bloodwork and go over anything else that the doctor may think is important.
