Congratulations .. You are on the way to a new brighter life :)

congrats!! Make sure you are comfortable with your doctor

I actually met with two different ones. The first one weighed me and was like oh yeah you need this surgery, you're past the point where diet or exercise will help you, you're going to die if we don't do this. He spoke to me for 5 minutes before he sent me to his nurse to schedule the surgery.

The second doctor I met with was amazing, she spoke to me for a while, we talked about my goals and what I could expect and made me very comfortable.

You won't be sorry, and it'll be worth all the pre op work. Best decision I ever made!

Hey there....just wanted to comment that fortunately I like my doctor, but I'm not fond of his staff. This is a life changing event so you would think they would be more compassionate.

Good luck with your surgery!

Congratulations! I had my first consult today and I was so nervous. I loved the surgeon who really took time to speak with me and remembered me from a seminar I had attended. The scheduler and the insurance liason also could not have been nicer. I walked out with a surgery date that works for me, all my surgical appts. scheduled and knowing what I need to do before my next appointment.

I know your consult will go just as well.

Yippee!!!!

How exciting! My consult is scheduled for mid February. They said the appointment would take about 4 hours, I wonder what it consists of.

I just got my appointment for my first consultation too! 12/22/15...an early Christmas present. I'm am so nervous. I get anxiety talking about my weight, and avoid it at all costs. I guess that is why I'm in the place I am in now, lol. Good luck with your appointment..what an awesome way to start the new year!
