:D So I officially began my WLS journey today! I met with my surgeon for my consultation and it couldn't have gone any better. I feel so comfortable with my surgeon and his team. My doc is also the surgeon who I saw last year for another consult. It was comforting to go into his office and being recognized right away. This is a smaller program, so it is very personal.

I was lucky enough to have found you guys here so I knew what I wanted to ask and was able to also follow what he said.He told me that he was impressed with the knowledge I already have about RNY.

I will be seeing the NUT on Monday and am in the process of scheduling the psych eval, EKG, and lab work. I don't have to have mammo or scope because he did the scope on me in May & I'm current on my mammo.

I'm so excited! I feel great relief knowing that I'm taking control of my health again. Last Wed. I stopped smoking. I am using an e-cig to help, but I don't rely on it. I'm going to do this for ME! I deserve it!

Congratulations on taking the first step. Learning as much as you can does make the decision so much easier.

Best of luck and keep us posted.

Welcome Fairee! I'm sort of in the middle of getting all of my stuff done don't know yet when I'll have surgery.
