Hello everyone. I am happy to say that I have started my journey.

I took my seminar,

enrolled in the program,

had my initial visit with my doctor,

Decided on rny

met with financial,

Had my first nutritionist appointment

Passed my first psych evaluation, (two more to go)

Schedualed my sleep study and EKG,

And started my new diet.

I have 5 more visits with the nutritionist... And a ton of tests... But I am so excited to start this journey toward taking my life back.

Can anyone offer and advice or wisdom? What can I expect? And tips?

I HAVE DONE ALL MY REQUIREMENT WAITING TO SEE MY SURGEON MAY 21 I SO EXCITED AND SCARED AT THYE SAME TIME

Good luck & all the best. Advice always keep hydrated.

Thanks so much ladies

Thanks so much!!! I'm so nervous but I am excited to start this journey and to finally love myself

I've been in this process for almost 9 months so the excitement in the beginning has turned to nervousness. I'm 11 days away from my surgery and I never thought I would get here. Everything will be worth it and you have admitted something that a lot of us have put in the background.....you want to love yourself. I think we all had that problem in the beginning but we all are doing this for ourselves and we all will do great

That's so exciting that you are so close ill be praying for you! It seems like six months is a lifetime away... Thank you for your kind words and advice and I wish you luck and success.
