Newbie here. I have my first appointment on 8/27 and was told during my intake call to keep my weight where it is (225) until my appointment, because I will be under a 40 BMI at 218. I have more than 5 years documentation of being over a 40 BMI, it just seems wrong to keep eating this way until the 27th. I was put on a wait list in case an appointment opens up sooner. I don't think I'm a candidate for WLS until Jan/Feb 2016. I've seen mention that time will go quickly, looking forward to getting that first appointment under my (very tight) belt. I have a psych evaluation scheduled for September already. I love reading everyone's posts and experiences.
