I feel like this is getting real now!

Hey all!

I started this journey in January and have been doing the 6 months of Dr supervised diet since then (doing that with my PCP). Yesterday, I had my appt with the Nut and she went over my diet after surgery...week by week...and really talked about everything. Wow! It actually started to get real for me at that point. I guess doing the 6 months of dieting seems literally endless so really going over the diet after surgery got me excited and nervous at the same time!!! I still have two more months of my 6 month requirement before submitting to insurance for approval but just had to share. I'm hoping I'll have surgery in August!!! It will be here before I know it!

Were you planning on going to/have you been to any of the support groups in the area? I went to my first one at Methodist last month, planning on going to the one this month as well.

Hey me too! I live in Mesquite as well. You, me, and DonRodolfo are neighbors.

Good luck with your surgery!

I have to agree. I had my meeting last Tuesday and it became very real.

I am planning on going to one at Medical City in June. Haven't been to one yet though. I wish I had been going each month because my Nut showed me the topics they have covered and I really think it would have been good to be there for those.

I go to the one at Methodist Hospital off of Beckley and Colorado Ave. They have one every 3rd Tuesday of the Month from 6p-7:30pm in the Weiss Auditorium. Great place to ask questions of people who have had surgery as well as bariatric nurses that attend. Anyone who has had surgery or is going to and their families are welcome to attend and it's free.
