I can be your buddy. I'm beginning also I'm going to my pcp Thursday to get her to write my letter to the surgeon that says she is ok with the surgery. I kinda went with it backwards I met with a surgeon before consulting my pcp. After that I'm starting to schedule all of my test that's required ( psych etc).

I have just started also, I've been to my 2nd appt already. I have an appt with pcp to get my letter end of August along with my appt with cardiologist, echo, and stress tests. I still need to go see my endocrinologist, I guess to get his ok on my decision. I also have my appt for X-ray the end oh this month. Since I work mon- fri I always try to make a marothon of appts in one day. It seems to work for me since it's a huge medical practice. But let buddy up cuz we all need help gettin started ???„

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
