So I saw the doc, nutritionist and psych yesterday. Very overwhelming!! Crazy busy office. Seemed like nice people though. Got me right in. Made appointments for endoscopy, pulmonary and ultrasound. Today made appointment with cardiologist. Didn't realize I'd have to do all this before hand!!! But appointments are made. I think I figured out the schedule as far as pre-op medical clearance and pre-op appointment with doc goes. Hoping for July 16 date. Was feeling somewhat nervous today after a bad dream where noone approved the surgery and I was alone. Called a girlfriend and she came over and we chatted for some time. Decided I was doing what was best for me. Still want to do this. So I'm back to excited but still a little nervous too now!!!

So yesterday was my appointment with the doc. Saw nutritionist and pysch too. May have tentative date of July 16. Can't believe the stuff to get done. Hopefully will be done by 7/16. Whew!! woke up this morning feeling anxious and nervous. My girlfriend came over and helped me through. Now feeling like this is still the best thing to do for me.

I am hoping for July 11. Will see what Dr. Ahmad says on Tuesday. So excited despite getting some negative feedback from some family!

Hi I'm kinda new here been lurking for a few weeks. I told lots of people and got as many negatives as positives. I'm kinda sorry for the negatives but it just makes me want to prove them wrong!! That's how twisted I am!!! lol. Staying positive and having a supportive husband and coming here is all I need. I'm just looking at all the positives that will happen once I'm banded and lost the weight!!!
