So I had completed my bariatric seminar 2weeks ago, that is required prior to meeting surgeon that is more like an informational session.

Had my first appointment with nutritionist and surgeon today! Had the run down of the entire process. Have my appointment for endoscope for April 13th. Walk in clinics for my labs, ekg and chest xray. Have my psych eval scheduled in April and my fist "medical supervised weight loss appointment" thisFriday.

I'm so excited. Feels kind of surreal. I made a few changes in my life recently knowing this is all for a healthier me. I've started drinking ONLY water, at least 64oz a day. I've also quit smoking/consuming alcohol.

Origionally I was stressed over the 6months thing but honestly I'm kind of happy I have that time to mentally prepare and make changes.

Hoping for Sept surgical date!

I also can't wait to havr new comparison photos to show progress!

I have my seminar next week and it feels like things are going to slow but after this it seems like it may go very fast! i am so nervous but this community has made it so much better!

Im glad the endoscopy went well! ive never had one and ive never been put under any sedation at all. No surgeries of any kind. Honestly terrified but i really want this!

Just a couple steps closer! Congrats!

I think I am going to do sleeve. I say "think" because I was very sure that's what I wanted but the more research I do, I am starting to lean towards RNY. I think it might be better for me with the amount of weight I need to lose. My surgeon said it's pretty much up to me since I do not have any underlying health issues (which I'm very grateful for). Are you doing RNY?

I am doing the rny for a few reasons. Mostly my acid reflux and needing to lose 150#

You’re the first person I found who’s at the same point in the process as I am![emoji30] At first the 6 month thing annoyed the hell out of me, but now I’m kind of thankful for it. Gives us lots of time to get accustomed to all the changes we have to make.

Hows it going?
