I finally got approved for weight loss surgery, and have my first consult with the surgeon tomorrow. I am both excited and nervous. I know this is the right decision for me, I have tried exercising and more diets than i can remember. Having PCOS has not helped either, it is so hard to lose weight no matter what I try. I am 23, 330lbs, and ready to make any necessary life changes to have an operation, I have wanted this for so long. For others, how long after your first consult was your surgery?

Hi all! I have already had my Surgeon Consult for gastric sleeve surgery. Now I am at my PCP to get his approval! Nervous as heck! I meet with the Nutritionist later this week. I have to meet with the surgeon once a month for three months before thesurgery willr actually be scheduled.

I know it seems like a lot to do but the end result is going to be so worth it. There is, a lot to do and learn with this process, but I know you'll be ready when the time comes.
