Just starting this amazing (but seemingly long) process



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm a divorced, 35 year old Mom of 2 daughters. I have been battling my weight for nearly 15 years and have decided to take charge. Like most of you, I'm exhausted. Mentally, emotionally and physically...

I've been researching this process for a few weeks now and will be attending a seminar on the 16th of this month. My first appointment is September 1 and I'm so anxious already. I've spoken with my insurance company and believe I'm extremely borderline. This is a true concern but I'm still hopeful.

This website and community is exactly what I've been searching for the past few days so I'm so glad to have found you all!

Feel free to contact me if your story is similar as I'd love to have a "buddy" throughout this journey!

I've done the seminar and my first appointment and now i have an appointment with the RN's and Dr's on the 30th of this month! So I am pretty close to where you are!

I am also worried because I am borderline...I feel like I will get through but it is really my only concern! I've done loads of research and I am ready for this journey!

I'm 31, no kids, and really excited about actually being in control for more then 4-5 months at a time! I am done with working so hard, seeing results, and then failing again!!

Here's to us!:unsure:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
