Just starting the process of meetings and consults, but my mind is clear. Anyone else out just starting

Seems like forever that I started this journey, have had many ups and downs. It was hard to make a decision, had to get help with the why I was overeating to be able to overcome that part and then move to where I am at today. Had my pre surgery consult my first one. Schedule to meet Doctor in 2 weeks. then set up surgery.

I'm just starting out as well.. I have gone to my first of 6 doctor appointments required for insurance. I'm pretty excited and can't wait to have surgery!

I'm in the middle. I had the band in 07, so they know .me. I had all the tests, but still need paperwork from previous tests. I had to cancel my appt with surgeons LPN and the dietician, so now have to wait till March. But I don't mind. Gives me more time to lose more weight!

I think of little else but the whole process. I think I got it, but still continue to investigate the process. I'm working with my therapist about the food addiction and I think we're doing well. EMDR. Still, I'm nervous about the actual operation. Open or laparoscopic? Scarey. Good luck to all of you! We can do this!!!! ????????????????????????

I did the seminar and consult and the 2 tests required before letter of medical necessity for approval. I'm nervouscited. Lol.

I have just started my journey. I am with Kaiser and they say it takes about 6-9 months to get everything done to get a surgery date. I have just done my home sleep study and signed up for my 10 week nutrition classes which start April 6th. After those are done then I will be supervised by a nutritionist and social worker until I meet my "goals" (I don't know what those are yet) then I will meet the surgeon and set a surgery date! Lots of hoops to jump through! I'm scared of the pre op liquid diet I keep hearing about...

So I start my 2 week Pre-op diet tomorrow.....I am excited about my surgery in 2 weeks, but I also need back surgery to help with mobility. So I am ready for this life style change and looking forward to a new wardrobe.

Yes- I have 1 more nutrition consult and then meet w surgeon. Hoping forMay date.

I am at nutritionist point and blood work sleep test

Anyone from Canada
