I had my 1st appt on yesterday. The surgeon answered all my questions and gave me a list of things I have to do. We're trying to do the 3 month approval. I have to schedule my NUT appt, get a chest X-ray, pulmonary function test, and EKG. I also need a psych evaluation and once everything has been done the surgeon will submit everything to my insurance. I'm hoping to have the surgery by October. Good luck to you!

It's nice to know that people are on the same track as you are. I am a bit nervous about the support groups. I feel like I'm gonna be the youngest because I know that a lot of older people tend to get this surgery. Are you thinking sleeve or gastric bypass?

I dunno how old you are but I'm 33...I opted for the gastric sleeve. Don't be nervous about support groups...everyone in the group is there for the same reason as you...and you don't have to worry about judgement because we're all in this together. You'd be surprised at the amount of young people who had WLS... think of other as a way to be a healthier and happier you. ????

My surgeon requires all prospective patients attend a symposium. I did that last Wednesday. My insurance requires a six month diet with a nutritionist. My first appointment with her is Friday. Very nervous and excited to be starting this process!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
