Congrats!! I think taking the first step is one of the hardest! I had the sleeve on 1/12/17, so just almost 3 weeks post op. So far so good! Wishing you all the best!

Congratulations! Before you know it you will be on the loser's bench with the rest of us.

I am also new and had my first visit on 1/24/17. I am doing the 6 MO insurance route and hope to gave a surgery date in august. I was so excited when I saw the dr and he said, yes of course you can do this. I broke down crying tears of joy. God Bless and good luck to ya'll

I am also doing the 6 months that are required for insurance. I hope to have my surgery in August. I did my first visit the beginning of January. Would love to keep in touch with those just starting out also.

Hello All! I have just joined, but have been reading these forums for several months. Very helpful information. I will be having my RnY bypass surgery scheduled as soon as my surgeon gives the final approval. All insurance hoops done! Was told he would take about a week, then I could be scheduled about 6 wks from that time. Hoping for mid-March surgery date! VERY excited to do this.

I would love to follow along with others just starting out. We can really help each other!

My biggest concern is the expected period of depression shortly after surgery. I will probably post then, if I need help. I have the best, most supportive husband ever, so I'm sure he will be doing all he can to help me. I am so lucky!

Good luck LGN900! Keep us posted! God Bless and prayers for you!
