Good morning and welcome. I just had mine yesterday. You'll weigh in and get all of your stats and I mean ALL of them. You'll meet the surgeon and he'll ask you a few questions. Then you'll meet with the dietician. Be honest about your eating habits. He/she is going to have you start a food journal (at least mine did) that I have to turn in at my next visit. From there you'll see your patient advocate after you take some before pictures. I received my "road map" of my insurance requirements which aren't much. I have 3 more visits with the dietician, see the psychiatrist in between and that's about it.

I hope this helped. Lol.

I'm not scared yet. Probably once I get my surgery date, but right now I'm just ready for an enhanced life that includes comfortable plane rides and amusement parks.

Congratulations with your first consultation. Each office is different and has different protocols. I didn't like the experience I had at the first office I went to, so I scheduled an appointment with a different doctor at a different hospital. I am much happier there.

I suggest you bring a notebook and take notes if you start to feel overwhelmed. You may even want to write a list of questions you would like to ask so you make sure everything is covered with your visit.

Good luck!!
