I would love to make some surgery buddies now so we can go through all the pre-op requirements together and stick through surgery and beyond. Anyone else already know their surgery will occur this summer?

My surgery is going to fall in the July or August time frame. Most of this is dependent upon checking all my surgeon's boxes, the rest is dependent upon my financing since I'm self-pay. I'll be getting the sleeve.

I love my surgeon and feel really lucky to have found him. So far the pre-op stuff has gone smoothly, but I am just at the beginning stages. I've scheduled all my evals and classes and attended my first weight loss class last week. I found it to be mildly helpful. It was certainly geared more toward those that hadn't already read through the surgery binder and/or those that had no clue what healthy eating consisted of. I'm hoping future classes focus more on the post-op eating.

My first visit with my PCP about this surgery is next week as that's the soonest I could get in to see her. I'm hoping she'll be supportive as my surgeon knew of her when I told him that's who I see. But if I have to find another PCP so be it.

My first dietician appt is next week and psych eval is the week after that. I only have to get these three meetings out of the way to schedule my surgery. So I'm anxious to get that done!

I'm excited to hear from others along the same timeline as me!

I was the same way. Now I look back and think why did I put this off for so long.

I’m going to go follow you now. I want to make a whole other Instagram for my journey, but not use my face since I’m still pretty private about it right now

Followed! Will drop my instagram weight loss page name when I make it. Following from my regular account for now ?

I would like to do the same on Instagram.

Just made my instagram, the name is alfxrny just like on here ?

I dont even know how to use it, so i guess i really am old.

This not being able to quote BS is really pissing me off!!

@Crcountry - Glad to hear you're doing well! I keep reading "it will get better", I'm sure it will for you too!

@YoBL - Woo Hoo!

@JayBSoFla - Welcome to the group! I'm sure that was nerve wracking to have that emotional roller coaster. At least it's over soon!!

@Lauren26

Okay so my psych evaluation was WEIRD ? The part where they focus on weight and eating habits had me crying laughing... I was asked all kinds of crazy ?’s like... Pardon me if you will but “ Do you incorporate food with copulation?” OMGGGG I was taken off guard TOTALLY?? Other than that it was okay!!

WTF??? I think the person you went to see needs to have a psych eval. Why would they need to know that? And even if you do what is wrong with it and why would it matter for WLS? Bizzare!!

@Brittbrat - I am @i.am.emilym Not a lot going on at my page right now since I'm so far away from surgery, but it will pick up!!

@Ylime MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY!! I actually brought this up with the behavioral evaluator and she stated that sometimes they ask bizarre questions to see how the person reacts!!! I felt like it was out of line and I wasted no time voicing that between laughing at the very thought of that!! Smh..

@Ylime besides that if I did that my personal business.. lol

On my local news there has been reports of shrinks and their strange practices. One lady was whipping her patients!! Crazy...

@Saygrace CONGRATULATIONS on getting sleeved!!

@yobl that’s crazy!

@ALFxRNY - I just followed you on IG.
