She said some other things but I don't remember them.

She told me that because of a drop in Protein Hair loss is common and that she knows many people that put all of the weight back on within 7 years. She made it seem like an ordeal that would yield results that wouldn't last. It was pretty discouraging.

Wow........ I think if you do what your dr tells you to do I you will be fine.

Hi everyone I'm also a newbie. super excited for this life style change. My surgery is scheduled for June 16th so we are only days away! I'm on day 3 of a low calorie diet the drs require. I'm so glad to have found this site. Everyone going thru this needs to be reminded they can do it and they aren't alone. super thrilled to read everyone's posts!

Hey there! I am pretty new here myself! I started this Journey in Febuary and per insurance, completed my 3 month/90 day multidisciplinary supervised diet/psych eval. I cwas finished with all that on 05/07/14 - all my paperwork was submitted to insurance (Aetna) on 05/09/14 and I recived my approval on 05/15/14!! I had my EGD (scope) completed yesterday and all went well! I have the GREEN LIGHT for surgery which I have scheduled for 07/31/14! I have my nutrition class and EKG on 07/07/14. I could have gotten the surgery sooner but, I will have been with my company a year on 07/29/14 and once you have been here a year, you get 2 weeks paid at 100% when you go out for short term disability. Verrrrry excited not only for myself but, everyone here who is embarking on this journey with me!

Good luck everyone!

I just finished my 6 months on Monday. Then found out my surgeon was retiring, so I just met with a different surgeon from the same office Thursday. I actually liked him better than my original. Everything should be submitted to insurance today and I'm hoping for surgury in July.

I'm fairly new too. My insurance didn't require a diet, so I just had the seminar in April. Then met with nut and also had psych eval. Had consult with surgeon a month after seminar. Had lots of bloodwork. I was approved by insurance this week, and I got my surgery date of 7/1!!! So excited. I meet again with surgeon and also with nut for pre and post-op diet info next week. Start the 2 week liquid pre-op diet on 6/17. It's all happening!!!! Yay!!
