Just went to my seminar to start the program I will have to say I’m super excited! I wanted to know if anyone is just now starting off with wls? ??

Yay! I can’t wait to get to that point!

Good luck to u I am 5-3 and 210 or they give me a tummy tuck

I have my initial consult Friday! This is my second attempt (got approved for lap band in 2015 but I couldn't make my finances work out). This may actually be better because my new employer covers multiple types of surgery, I believe, and at a lower cost to me.

I feel like I'm better prepared this time, too.

Yay awesome! I got a call yesterday and my first consultation is April 25th I’m so excited!

that's great

I feel like I need to do ALL THE READING right this minute. And buy all the protein powder. You know, six months out, so I'll be prepared ?. My brain does some strange things sometimes LOL.

Hopefully I'll have an update Friday! I was surprised how quickly I got in, but then again, the hospital I work for is focused on patient care so they make it as easy as possible. I didn't even have to talk to anyone, I made my appointment online LOL

Please keep us updated

I will! The crazy thing is we have to already get our pcp clearance done before our consultation and this will be first time going to see a doctor since I was probably in grade school

I know it’s all different for everyone but I finally found a pcp and will have an appointment with them next week

That's pretty different from around here. I made my appt with the surgeon first, and I expect to find out what I need to do when I meet him. I have a pretty good idea since I have access to the hospital SharePoint [emoji16][emoji16]. It's fairly comprehensive.

I had an egd last year when they thought I was having gallbladder issues, I want to know if maybe that was recent enough. Probably not. I don't need to do sleep testing though ?. I already use a cpap for severe sleep apnea.

I know crazy. Well that’s good. I called my insurance today they require you to do a 6mntb program through weight watchers ? to get a approved for the surgery. I’m already getting tired from all this information I have to do.

Your EGD should transfer over unless they found something interesting. If you had damage from,GERD, gastritis or an ulcer like I have they will probably repeat it. My ulcer is named Hector, I try my best to keep him [emoji42] sleeping, life is more peaceful that way. Hey welcome Syrina, if no one else has greeted I will.[emoji13]
