getting started

Hey everyone. I am new to this forum. I am in the process of completing the requirements for my bypass surgery. I have to have my stomach scoped tomorrow. Fun stuff huh? I went to my first seminar in January and had my first appointment with the medical director on January 28th. Because of my insurance I have to wait 6 months before surgery. So the are looking at the beginning of August for my surgery date. Seems like forever away. I have completed all the tests except for the scope, which is tomorrow and one last nutritionist appointment which is next week. Then it will be once a month visit with my doctor and one more visit with the surgeon. And we play the waiting game on insurance to approve.

I'm super excited and would have the surgery tomorrow if I could. I'll keep posted on here. I like the fact of a support group at my fingertips, literally.

I did my stomach scope yesterday. My throat was so dry and itchy afterwards. I slept all day too. But my fiance took me to get shaved ice so it was worth it!

I'm going for my first meeting with the surgeon tomorrow not sure what to expect I'm hoping don't have a 6 month waiting period. I would like to have this done by the end of the summer if not sooner. Good luck on your journey
