Had my first appointment yesterday. It was a great experience...long, but great. One of the funniest things happened while I was there. This young lady was already seated in the room and started talking a mile a minute. She was so excited. When the gastro nurse came in - we all started hearing loud snores. My friend woke her up, and then the surgeon came in. She was laid back in her chair, shirt all up - sawing logs. The surgeon was irritated and I got so tickled I couldn't speak or breath for laughing with tears running down my face. (I must say she wasn't sleeping due to a medical condition.)

Overall - I love my surgeon. I don't have to have any other tests. I scheduled my psych eval, start a 90 supervised diet Tuesday, and now it's a waiting game.

The surgeon concurred with the sleeve; however, said it was because I was young (28) and have had a trainer for a year and a half. He said I should bounce back fast. I'm looking forward to a new me. Next summer will be the best one ever. I'm sure others can empathize with staying away from the beach or pools because of weight. I have never been thin. This time next year, I will be the thinnest and healthiest if my adult life.

sleep apnea is not funny.

Yea I should be close to the first of August. Thankfully I only have to do the 90 day physician supervised diet and we can go to insurance. My dr said I was an "easy" patient.
