Mine was discovered when I had my EGD and bariatric blood tests done. I am also Vitamin D deficient. I'm on ferrous sulfate and Vitamin D supplements now. Surgery is scheduled for 10/24. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was given my surgery date today! October 24th is the day I start fresh. Looks like a puréed turkey thanksgiving! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just finished the final month of my supervised diet. I have my EGD this Friday, and psych evaluation September 15th. I'm hoping to get an October surgery date. I've given up carbonated drinks and quit caffeine today. Also, started eating tiny high-Protein meals. I'm trying to get used to my new lifestyle before my surgery so it's not such a drastic change afterwards. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was told the end of October. I still have to meet with the dietitian and psychologist, and complete two more support group meetings. I'm on month two of the three month supervised diet. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You already have a surgery date? Are you self-pay? October will be here before you know it!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! I will be sure to post updates. I have about three months of work before my surgery. I'm sure those months will fly by! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my initial meeting with my surgeon today. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Thinking about all of the activities that I'll be able to participate in by this time next year makes me so emotional. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's very nice to meet you as well. I'm no spring chicken either! I've got the big 50 coming up in January. My surgery is planned for the end of October. I'm the worst at waiting, but I know that I have a lot of work to do between now and then to mentally and physically prepare for my new life. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my consultation today and I'm so ready to get my party started too! I actually broke down in the car after my visit. My fiancé thought I was upset, but I told him that it just hit me that this is really happening! I've been waiting for years to get the surgery. My insurance didn't cover it years ago, so I put it out of my thoughts. Of course I gained more weight over those years. I'm so happy! I'm glad you're journey is beginning too! This is such an exciting time in our lives! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
