Hello I'm Melissa. A 35 y/o working Mom and wife. My weight started a steady climb 12 years ago and I'm finally putting an end to it.
I'm so excited and surprised at the same time. I was expecting this whole process to take months (3-6 months) from start to finish, but it's only taken me 2 months. On 08Mar10 I met with my surgeon (who is FANTASTIC)and today 05Apr10 he gave me a surgery date of 05May10!!!!!!!
That's less than 2 months start to "new start".
OK here's the update:
08Mar10 - 1st visit w/my surgeon
09Mar10 - 1st sleep study
16Mar10 - Bloodwork
17Mar10 - Ultrasound
18Mar10 - Psych consult
18Mar10 - 2nd sleep study
25Mar10 - Upper GI
05Apr10 - 2nd Appt w/ Surgeon (surgery date set)!!!!
20Apr10 - PAT (Pre Admin Testing)
20Apr10 - 3rd visit w/my surgeon
04May10 - Start a liquid diet (yes only 1 day of liquids)
05May10 - BANDED!!!!!
6weeks later - 1st fill IF NEEDED
