:frown: ok. i have waited a month and a half ( even calling the dr office to see if they had cancellations so i could get in earlier ) for this visit to get here.

I go to the dr for my consult visit TOMORROW at 2pm..........

now i am starting to FREAK OUT !!!!! :tt2:

they told me to set aside at LEAST 2 hours for this visit.........

i know my dr. has in house dietician, psych , etc.....

i KNOW i am ready for this surgery.........i KNOW i need it ..........i KNOW i want it.........i KNOW i will be happy when i get it ..........

so WHY am i freaking out !!!! :Banane44:

sorry for the rant........ijust have that sick to my stomach quesy feel know ing it is tomorrow....lol

i already know my ins. covers it...........

guess it is just sinking in that i AM doing this .......not just a though or hope but i am on the road........

I was nervous too... but I'm great, and think you will be too.

I felt the same way as you. My surgery is scheduled for May 22, and I am still very nervous, but not like I was. Most of the nervousness you are feeling will pass. Not all of it, but it will get better. I am still nervous, but I am also excited and ready to get the surgery over with. I think everyone here has felt the same as you. Just wait it out and you will feel better.

How did the consult go, Angie?

ok i made it through hurdle #2.....lol:thumbup:

Dr. consult is OVER..phew

i have to say when i pulled into the parking lot i had to sit in my van for a good 10 minutes.......i started shaking and thought i was going to throw up i was so nervous.:smile2:

i probably looked like a madwoman sitting there talking to myself....lol

finally talked myself out of panic and went in......

i think i was the only patient in there at that time .......

i signed in , then was taken to a room where i had to watch a video and as it went if i had questions i coud type them into the computer.....

that done i had to go back up front and let them know i was done........they printed out my ?'s and took me back to wait for the dr.

the nurse came in and talked to me for a few minutes.........got weighed , my neck & belly./middle measured , got my vitals taken......

told her about this site ( they tell pple in the seminar that OH is a great site, personally i like oh but as for informative i LOVE this one )

they are going to check this site out now :mad:

so , then the dr. comes in and says hello and goes over questions and shows me the band /port...........

after that was done i headed out to see his assistant......

my job now is to call my PCP and set up my 6 month supervised weight loss deal for Indiana state law ( SUCKS! ).....but hey , i figure whats 6 months.....i can do this

so i guess all in all i freaked over nothing....everythings good..........i am so READY

they are supposed to call me for my next appt. with the dietician .........
