Feeling alone

[ambieambs 54]

I am just starting the process of weight loss surgery. I have attended a seminar and I have my referral letter. Now I just have to get an appointment to have a bod pod done. A bod pod is something they do here to measure the body fat. After that is done, I can meet with the surgeon. I'm not alone in this. My bf is not only supporting me through it, he is going to go through it with me. I am however very nervous about the idea of surgery and making such a big change, but it is a change that I want and need.

Can I join the fun here?! I just had my second weight in out of six. I've been to the seminar and seen the nurse practitioner and am in the process of getting all the testing done. I've attended the one required class.and have been to one support group meeting (also required, but must attend one a month) and I've had my mental health eval. I'm hoping to finish all the pre-op requirements and have my RNY in late November or early December.

Of course you can join in. The more the merrier. I hope there aren't a lot of hoops to jump. Id like to be post op before the holidays. My first appt is in 3 hours

Glad they got you in! I would have thrown a hissy fit. Dont they know not to mess with a woman trying to lose weight!! lol

[jenn2752781 13]

Omg I would have done the same lol glad they fit u in keep us posted

Well I'm kinda annoyed. Being that it's 50.00 to see these people. All that was done was my blood pressure, temp, gone over the drugs I take(which I had already written out for them.) Then I saw the doctor who said "so you saw our video" um yeah duh considering they wouldn't give me an appointment without doing that...oh wait, you didn't, that's right (sarcasm)

Well then it looks like you qualify ( tell me something I don't know) I asked about the things I read here(and got the obligitory "omg she's been on the internet and thinks she knows everything" look ) I asked about my bmi being high and how the lap band has had some issues with slipping etc. So he says well we only do lap bands but he didn't "think" it would be am issue for me and he would check with his colleagues. We will call you in a couple days to give you the info for the other appointments.

And that was it. Literally 8 minutes. I think I'm going to look elsewhere. I feel limited
