Starting off on a new journey

Hello,

I'm really nervous while I'm writing this. Guess it's kind of life changing. I filled out the questionnaire for Cleveland clinic WLS. I just got a call today scheduling my appointments for medical doctor, nutritionist, and With Phillip Schauer the surgeon.

MD and Nut is scheduled for April 15.

Nutritionist for April 22.

Meet with Dr. Schauer on May 3rd.

I'm nervous about the process and ready to improve my health.

Any tips? What I need to get gathered or work on in the meantime?

My medical insurance is United Healthcare. CCF advised me it was covered under my insurance.

Congratulations on the start of your new life. You will have some ups and downs along the way, but you have taken the first step and that is HUGE!

The doctor and NUT will give you a plan to follow. I have UHC and had to follow a 6 month plan, seeing the dr. monthly and then they were able to submit the paperwork for approval. Just follow the plan and you will do fine.
