    I'm just starting this journey. I went to the seminar in January and I have my dietician appt set up for next week. I'm hoping for a May or early June surgery. I'm getting very worried about the whole thing, I hope I can go through with it. :/

    I am just starting the whole process, going to all my appointments. I am not sure if i have to do the 6 month wait or not but i have been preparing my self for the surgery. I have changed my diet and have been working out. I have to go see my doctor on April 29th and tell him what i have decided. But the doctor has me going to group meetings and a seminar, along with going and getting different tests done. I am nervous but excited at the same time. I have been trying for year to loose weight on my own and i have not been able to so i have came to terms that i need a little help. I have a amazing support with my family.

    I'm just starting my process as well. I went to the seminar last week Saturday, and my first consultation with my surgeon is exactly a month away. I have my psychological evaluations week after that. My insurance does not require me to do the 6 months. I'm just nervous with anticipation having to wait a month to visit with my surgeon. Congratulations to everyone who are just starting their journey!!!
