August

Good for you!

As you see I'm on here 24 hrs a day. But wow have I learned a lot

I believe so. They'll tell ya at your surgeon's appointment. But I had a checklist everyone goes by from the insurance lady. Some things were added and crossed out depending on each person's ailments. Got this my first visit.

No they get your stomach prepared for sleeve

Next appointment on Friday. I get excited with each one

5 back surgeries have also contributed to my weight gain. I'm very excited to change the hand I've been dealt

I go Friday the 8th to my 2nd nut| psych appointment. Should get my blood work back tomorrow and letter to be off my blood thinner for a day to schedule endo

Waiting patiently... For august myself

I also come several times a day

Not here either

Endoscopy. They have to look down our throats into our stomach's to make sure all is good. That way if any issues, you can get addressed in the time before surgery too.

Right here with ya all the way! I'm in Kentucky. But love to reflect with someone also

Awesome! We're moving right along. Be here before we know it

I'm in Kentucky, but welcome to listen and share all my experience with anyone. New to this too. Just started on April 1st. Already have all my testing done except for my endoscopy. Everyone's testing depends on their physical problems. At my first visit they went over a detailed list of ailments which told them which tests I needed for surgery. They also had already ran my insurance, but I had called the company myself to see my cost. Lot's of people on here willing to listen and answer many questions. Good luck ????????????

Welcome, I used to live in Cobb County in Marietta! I have no idea about bariatric surgeons in ga but I wish you luck! Im here if you need me but if you want local support search for a georgia thread or start one yourself! I'm learning how common weight loss surgery has become! It's support everywhere!

It will all work out. I'm sure you are irritated but maybe there is a good outcome somehow in this. Keep positive, we are all here for ya.

Isn't their a nutrition and psychological. DR AFFILIATES with your bariatric surgeon? Mine are next door and do all appointment together. Makes it nice too.

I am glad my surgeon is the gastroenologist too. Plus my family Dr and pain Dr have taken care if alot of the other tests. Have already gotten all the tests except the endoscopy done. Which my surgeon does.. my other Dr's were on board with all this from the beginning since I take 16 different medicine's. Gonna hopefully be losing half after weight loss we all hope. My family Dr's office is attached to my cardiology Dr. He's on board too since I have a stent. Getting excited!

I have an elliptical I just started working out with and walk every day many blocK's now since I made this decision. Idk why I don't have to do the diet more than 12 days. Ready and willing. Forever! Gained my weight because of having 5, back surgeries. I have 65# to lose. Ready for a lifetime change!

12 day. To get you use to the liquid diet.

Lol. Great. Got lucky. The psychologiSt is at the Dr's office. So was cleared first visit.

Alright! More and more of us coming around lately. Getting ready for 2nd nut appointment, had my blood work,stress test too. Any day endo should be scheduled. That completes my list except finishing the nut appointments up.til time for surgery. Met with ssurgeon on April 21st.

Awesome
