Buffalo ny... New here

[juliansmommy 67]

I just had my base weight weigh in and my first appointment with the LPN is in October. But I have all my appointments set and ready to go. Actually will be done with them before I visit with the LPN for the first time! Just started the south beach diet. My dr wants me down 5% before surgery. That is a requirement for all his patients. I would love to be down 10%. I'm on day 2 of the first phase and it's tough! It's getting better! I have a friend who did it and met another woman locally. I'm excited... Not nervous yet... Looking forward to a new and improved me!!

Anyone local just starting out?

The journey seems long but you will be post op before you know! I knew I loved my new sleeve from the second I came out of surgery! And it's so fun to find new healthy recipes. I've never been a "health freak" but I'm sure on my way there now. I'm 3 weeks out and loving life

I love in Amherst and just started the process. I am having dr Posner do it as well.

I went in for my original weigh in and the first seminar. My first official appointment is in November. I do have my psych test and sleep eval scheduled (Sleep study is Wednesday, psych eval is first week in November). I am hoping that if i lose my 5% body weight (or make great progress) before my first appointment they won't make me wait another 4 weeks before the next appointment. I was trying to find someone else local that was going through the process:). I have a friend that did it a year ago at buffalo general and she's very happy. Another friend of mine did it a few months ago in pa. Have you done anything else to prepare?
