So, I am finally gonna meet the Surgeon Monday morning. Nervous and excited ready to do this already n get it all started. I have only been to the Seminar so this is the next step ☺

I am 37 and have been overweight my entire life, hell I was 9lbs when I was born lol. Anyway, no more babies for me and I have grandkids now n my youngest son is almost 14...I wanna be around to see his children and to play with them at the park and on our front room floor.

I wanna cross my legs and not be embarrassed to walk into a restaurant and have my husband pick me up n ride rides. I wanna live a life I haven't lived ever before and I want to live it with my family, not end up in an early grave.

So, I am excited and nervous about meeting this man that could help change my life and allowing me to finally live.

What all happens at the 1st visit? I'm sure they may be different from Dr to Dr but the jist should be the same...maybe. Anyway any advice or anything would be great, thank you in advance and have a great day!!! ????????????????

@@betterme38 Congratulations on starting the process and meeting "The Man"!! My first visit was just simply meeting him, going over questions (history ect...) and him telling me that sleeve would be my best option. That's it!

Congrats! My first visit with my surgeon was basically lots of paperwork, going over my medical history, and him discussing the pros and cons of each surgery in depth. I also met with my surgical coordinator who gave me the ins and outs of my insurance requirements and made me a packet with a time line of what I needed done and around when I should do it by. It seemed like a lot to take in and with all of my requirements I thought these 6 months would feel like forever but they've flown by!
