So I had a 5 hr appt yesterday where I answered literally around 600 questions about myself, watched films, met with dieticians and so on. They then scheduled me my psych eval, EKG, endoscopy and bloodwork all the same appt for two weeks out. Man things are moving.

All I need now are 6 nutritional visits and they can be 2 years prior but consecutive.

Wow! I can't catch my breath!

Has anyone else had things go like this?

I wasn't expecting it to be like this at all.

I'm really surprised they can schedule all of those things "all at the same appointment"

If they do endoscopy in house...doing your EKG and running blood work that day, i could see happening.

Sounds like you've already done the first part of the psych eval. Maybe they have a visiting therapist to finish up the day of your other procedures?

Have to say, I envy your ability to have "one stop shopping" on this grocery list. LOL. Mine was really spread out!

The whole thing can be a little overwhelming at first....but once you get going on your program....you're gonna get so excited:)

Best wishes!

I had the same thing. The seminar, the questionnaire/intake. The meeting with the surgeon and 1st physical and discussion. Then scheduled all of my appts within the first 2 weeks basically. That only left doing 6 months consecutive RD appts and making my f/up visits with the surgeon. I met with the RD every month and the surgeon every 6 weeks.

They explained that she wanted all the information she could get on us early in the process in case we were not gonna be good candidates for surgery. Time passed very quickly despite my eternal whining about delays! LOL.

Good luck and welcome to the boards!!

I hope if OSU requires anything else they schedule it within a condensed time period[emoji354] so I can still make it before summer. It does get hot in the summer in Ohio, but I'm preaching to the choir whining to a Texan, aren't I? I'm trying to believe every day brings me closer, keeping a smile[emoji12] on my face until I have to cry again. And maybe my crying days[emoji11] are now over!

I know right? I suppose it being a COE they are prepared. My endoscopy is actually last on list. I would really rather get it all done and over. I have a little drive to get there plus managing work days so it's working out:)

HAPPY LOSING EVERYONE!!
