I have my first consultation appointment on April 20th and I’m nervous but excited! Anyone just starting the process!?

I hope all goes well on your journey as well!
I am sooo excited!!! I’ve already started changing my eating habits and I’ve been watching my 600lb life very lately...its very motivating

Thank you! I’m looking for someone in the Fort Lauderdale area to be a workout buddy

if I weren't in Ohio I'd be happy to do it. We have had many Floridians on here recently maybe on of them will see your posting!?

Meeee!!

Thanks so much for those words

I had my first consult yesterday. It went well. It was pretty emotional though. I almost teared up at one point. My surgeon is very stern and I think he expects a lot from his patients but in return will give just as much back.

I see the dietitian Monday and then back to the surgeon next month, and if he's happy with my progress and commitment, he'll move forward with the next steps.

I'm nervous and excited but mostly very determined. I had to back out of surgery three years ago and I'm not missing another opportunity.

hey guys well just wanted to say hello and welcome to the boards i am about 3 months into a 7 month journey i have my 3rd weigh in on Tuesday. all i can say to those just starting this process is it moves at a pace you do not expect like the days can sometimes be long when you think about the process its self but the weeks and months go by so fast. i mean it feels like yesterday that i filled out my new patient paper work and met with the surgeon so yeah so crazy and that was back at the end of February so just keep your eye on the prize and do not be discouraged if you think you are not making progress as fast as you think you need to be or should be. dont compare your journey to anyone else's dont compare your preop program diet what have you to anyone else's every surgeon is wildly different the reason i say this is because at the end of the day the end of the day we all want the same thing weight loss surgery and to be successful in our journey
