Hi everyone! I have gone to the new patient information session and got ok'd for an actual appointment with the medical director at BIDMC..

Now I'm a very curious cat, and have zero patience with not a clear outline. I kept getting told that I have my appointment with this Dr. then the nutritionist.. then a nurse then a nutritionist, etc.

Could anyone share what stood between them and a surgery date? Is it just continually going to each appointment? Does this take 3 months give or take?

My BMI is 47.5 & im 5'9 so my insurance covers is & my PCP is very enthusiastically on board with my decision to move forward with WLS.

Any information or direction pointing will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks!

Thank smb123! I really appreciate that. The app is for either samsung or iPhone I have it on my iPad and my edge7. They sync to all your devices. As for my hubby, he will have to come around because I'm doing it either way lol. I'm 46 and too old to be told what to do! Plus I told him with this new back surgery and it fixing my spine I want to take care of my body and be mobile so I can go on walk around vacations and activites. We've been together for 15 years so he knows I'm right lol . I want to join a local group but the last time I had the lap band there were no local support groups. I have been on a few different bariatric sites and this one is great. People actually respond here! Any who thanks again for the support!

I forgot to tell everyone my name is Samantha LOL.

Yeah he needs to because it's coming either way!!! That's true. I don't do well in group settings, I just feel weird and out of place. I would like to meet out for a fun night you know.

oooh!! I'll have to try that app.. I'm trying to stock up on all the apps and recipes I can..

Gerri he'll come around.. if he knows whats good for him or he'll get cut! haha just kidding! BUT for real, this is a great place for support while your family & friends come around to supporting you. that cut is just going to make a better you!
