That is cool that you were at the seminar as well. I was able to bring my two biggest supporters with me, my son and niece. I felt more at ease to see he is also anal and has a great sense of humor. The first funny thing that happen when I got there was when I had to sign in Eva, was super happy and goes you mist be April. All I could do is laugh. My niece was shock that Eva know who I was before asking for my name. It was priceless! I feel can trust Dr Goldstein. Where do you live at? What have you done so far?

It is great to see all y'all wonderful people on this page, i wish everyone the best of luck. I know that can be hard, and make second guess if you are doing the right thing or even test your patience but keep your head and think positive. I look at it as an ultimate goal and greatest challenge I have face. Once you have done what you have completed it will be all worth it on the end. I'm here for support if you need me. Keep up the hard work and good luck!!

I'm from new Jersey also ! Old bridge new jersey my surgeon is Dr sadek . All I have left is the gastro did the psychtrist cardiac nutrionist and pulmonary surgery date is June 10th. make sure for insurance purposes you follow up that all these approvals are getting faxed to the surgeons . Found out today that my nutrionist never faxed my evaluation so now I'm double checking that everyone sends it all over

[perk4756 259]

Had my stress test and blood work. All that is left is my gastro. Thanks for the tips. When did you begin your journey theotherfatgirl? Also saw the psychiatrists, and insurance person.

I've had the scope before. Not too bad honestly. Don't stress

Never been under anesthesia for anything so I think that's what freaks me out a bit. I have it at like 6am I'm hoping I'll be so tired I won't be nervous
