I'm so nervous and excited. Not sure if I'm going to get any sleep tonight.

I know how you feel my first appointment is in a week, I'm super excited!

How was your appointment? I want to know the details! Lol

It went really well. I don't have any required prerequisites for the surgery. Just my pyc eval and approvel from my insurance and then ill get my date! All the doctors did was go over the surgery and how its done and they weight and measured me. Pretty simple and to the point. He said it would have been more extensive except I don't have any health conditions tied to being over weight and my bmi was under 60 so I don't have to lose any weight. I'm sooooo excited!!!!!!

Good luck! :-)

Wow, I hope mine goes as smoothly as yours. I don't have any health conditions either. Thanks, MrsLulu

I'm so excited for you. This whole experience is so great! My surgery is in a couple of days and its been an emotional ride. But I'm so excited to start this journey. For someone to give you a chance at a new life is awesome and I feel so blessed. I wish you the best chick a dee! ????

I had my first appointment yesterday too. I have no health issues (besides being obese, of course!). My surgeon wants 6 months supervised diet and exercise program - monitored by my PCP. Psych eval, nutrition consult and I gotta lose 20 lbs before the 6 months is up.

Yay us!

My first appointment is this next friday. I am so excited. I am still six months from surgery, cause I have to do the six month diet. Hopefully the time will go buy fairly quickly. I do have health conditions from being obese. I have diabetes, sleep apnea, and PCOS. I can't wait for my healthier lifestyle.

My first appointment is Friday also. I have to do a 3 month diet from what I hear, I guess I'll find out everything I need to know on Friday. Good luck at your appointment.

Thanks! We should keep each other posted on how everything is going. I know I am getting labs done, chest xray, EKG, seeing the doctor and dietitian. Not sure what else, I know they set aside four hours for your initial appointment. What sucks is I have to go fasting and my appointment isn't until 1130.
