Yayyy! That's the same way I feel, excited and nervous at the same time. ????

I had my first consultation yesterday! I also did my nutrition class and psych evaluation done. I was so nervous they would tell me I can't have it done! All went well! Love my surgeon! Good luck on your consult!

Thats wild because that is my date as well! !

This process is moving so quickly for me. I've had my first consultation on the 4th and my psych evaluation in the 10th and my upper GI eval. Next is my first group nutrition class on the 21st.

They've said that it's likely my surgeon will be the end of February or early March. My 20th wedding anniversary is February 24th and we're supposed to go cruising for a week. I'm willing to eat the pre-op diet during the cruise if that's what it takes for me to get on the losers bench.

Mz.W,

Good luck with your appointment! That’s always super exciting. I agree 100% with Sophie74656 to choose a surgeon you’re comfortable with. It’s tempting to go with the first one you meet with – at least, I always feel obligated because I feel like they gave me their time, or I feel like they’ll be “good enough,” even if I don’t feel completely comfortable.

It’s definitely worth your time and effort, and you completely have the right, to keep looking until you find a surgeon you’re comfortable with. They’re out there, even if it takes some looking!

The other suggestion I have is to write down all your questions, starting NOW! I know the consult is such a huge deal and I get nervous or overwhelmed when I talk to doctors. If I don’t write down my questions, I forget even the most obvious things.

Keep us posted how it goes and ask if you have any questions before then!
