Hello Kimberley. Welcome to this wonderful forum. While you are waiting for your surgery, read the back pages of this forum. It has so much information that I found invaluable. Good luck with your journey

Welcome!!!

Hi nice to meet you I am also new here and just finished completing everything on my checklist. Everything was submitted to my insurance on 1/20/2023. So waiting to here if they approve for the bypass

Hi Kimberly. WELCOME! I'm a newbie too. I have my consultation Jan 30th!

@cut.the.vs My consultation is on the 30th as well. Maybe we will have our surgeries around the same time!

@tiffanyb12211 How did your appt go?

Hello all, I’m a newbie too. My seminar was on 1/27 and my first consult was on 1/31/23. Maybe we will get the surgery around the same time? How was your appointment?

@nettyd My consultation went well. He went over my health history. I currently have hypertension and taking 2 meds for it. So I have to see a cardiologist next month. I have to do an at home sleep study as well. I have to take a class called baratric beginnings on March 20th. We also discussed my goals and realistic expectations with vsg. He answered every last one of my questions, comments, and concerns. How did it go for U?

@cut.the.VS it sounds like we’re both on are way to success! My consultant ion went well! I got my labs, EKG and X-rays today. My nutrition classes start 3/14!

@cut.the.vs My appointment went well. They went over everything with me and suggested the sleeve for me. I have to do one visit a month for four months with the dietitian. They said if I miss any appointments then everything starts all over. I have my Psych evaluation next month, I already have my gallbladder removed which they said is good. I don’t have to do a sleep study as of right now since I don’t have sleep apnea, they said they may make me do that but as of right now I don’t. They also advised me I will 30 days prior to my surgery and 30 days after I will need to stop my oral contraceptive due to blood clot risk or I could switch to the IUD which is what I’m going to do. I had my appointment for that today and should get that inserted in about two to three weeks. My dietitian also wants me to read a book called Intuitive Eating which I have started and it’s very interesting. I suggest reading that.
