I’ve been dreading this day since a month ago when I scheduled and all my nerves were for nothing! My doctor is great. I was struggling to decide between VSG and bypass and he answered all of my questions and concerns and my dietician is sweet as pie and lost 200lbs herself with the band. I decided on VSG and he put me on Adipex for three months and then I will switch to another medication for the other three months of my pre op diet. I am currently 475 and I need to be 400 to schedule and 375 on day of surgery. He is very confident that I can achieve this. I am SO excited.

Congrats! Finding a surgeon that is equals parts knowledgeable and empathetic is so important in this journey!!

Congratulations!! My first consult is on Monday!

Congratulations !! I was as nervous as you sounded. But just like you my doctor is great. She spent over an hour with me and my husband answering all our question at that time. Then my NUT spent another hour plus with us . I started following the approved food plan the next day and have not looked back.

You have this.
