My first appt. to Bariatric Center is approaching and I'm so excited to finally get this ball rolling. I wish I could find my own therapist and nutritionist.

My journey started one year ago this month. I have lost 90 pounds. You will never regret this decision.

Congrats! I can only imagine the joy I'm facing.

Congrats on your weight loss! And I wish you luck in your journey also

What insurance do you have? I called my normal hospital and they had a nutritionist that worked with bariatric patients. It wasn't through Emory, but Piedmont.

Also, Emory gave me the name of 3 psychologists, so that helped. You should be able to make an appointment with them whenever you get out of your meeting at Emory tomorrow.

I think since no required diet, they said they generally get people into surgery within 2 months or so, but I'm not sure since I have a required diet, but I'm sure they can help, everyone there was nice.

I have blue cross blue shield. I'm so excited, I have been researching over a year now.

That is awesome! I've been researching for a few months. It took awhile to get that first appointment, but I look forward to it. I think I get to meet the surgeon on this next visit, so that is exciting, but it isn't until Nov 26, pretty much a month after my first one.

Maybe we will see each other in support group or at an appointment at some point in the future since the appointments start out in a group. Good luck!

Congrats on your progress! Keep in touch with any helpful updates. Thanks again!

My journey started two months ago. And my surgery is this month.goodluck

I felt the same exact way when I had my first appointment with my nutritionist and surgeon. The count down began from there for me too. I have about 4 more months of follow ups and hopefully I can have my surgery in march (crossing my fingers) I am very happy for you too. Summer 2014 better get ready for us = )
