Hi my name is Anita I am from new York I am 53 year old I am 5 feet 1" tall my weight is 248 pound my first visit to WLS doctor was last month she wrote lots of test I am very nervous any one please can you share you experience from start to after WLS please.

Anita,

Try to relax about everything.

Each test is done for reason.

Your surgeon wants to make sure that you are in the best shape possible to do the surgery safely.

When I did my surgery I was required to meet with my primary care physician four times over a three month period, then I had all the various tests to do at the same time.

My first meeting with the surgeon was in May and my surgery was in September.

I'm doing very well after the surgery.

I had no complications from it.

I follow everything that I was told to do to let myself heal properly.

So follow the guidelines your surgeon and nutritionist give you and everything will be fine.

The best of luck to you for your upcoming surgery.
