I have met with the surgeon, had my labs, chest xray, and ekg. Scheduled for my endoscopy on 9/30, nutritional and psych eval on 10/1. I am very excited and a little scared but looking forward to the future.

Congrats on getting started with the process. I'm about 10 weeks away from surgery. The program I'm in is the most intensive I've heard about. They have everyone do a lot of head work before they decide as a team (surgeon, program coordinator, dietician and program psychologist) that a person is ready and they submit to insurance. All the appointments and my work schedule have made the time fly by. It also helps to know I am not just waiting until surgery, I am working on the mental changes and habits so the changes after surgery won' be as hard.

While you are waiting for surgery I highly recommend you read books that will help you with the head game. There are a lot of books on Amazon that have really good reviews. I'm on my phone so I don't have access to my book list. The best one I've read so far has a title of something like The Ultimate Guide to vertical sleeve gastrectomy by Dr. V. It's a Vietnamese name. There is also a book about the habits of people who have had long term success with WLS
