I've already seen the nutritionist. 2nd appt with them is the 15th

[LIFEBEGINSNOW20 2]

Wow that's fast. They wouldn't let me see a nutritionist until my 1st appointment with my surgeon!

I had psych evaluation, nut appt and meeting with swl nurse on June 16. Meet surgeon on July 9, 2nd nut appt July 15, pap July 17, exercise class July 23. That will complete month 2. Then August will be my last month and hopefully surgery in September

I had my 1st appt on yesterday. The surgeon answered all my questions and gave me a list of things I have to do. We're trying to do the 3 month approval. I have to schedule my NUT appt, get a chest X-ray, pulmonary function test, and EKG. I also need a psych evaluation and once everything has been done the surgeon will submit everything to my insurance. I'm hoping to have the surgery by October. Good luck to you!

It's nice to know that people are on the same track as you are. I am a bit nervous about the support groups. I feel like I'm gonna be the youngest because I know that a lot of older people tend to get this surgery. Are you thinking sleeve or gastric bypass?

I dunno how old you are but I'm 33...I opted for the gastric sleeve. Don't be nervous about support groups...everyone in the group is there for the same reason as you...and you don't have to worry about judgement because we're all in this together. You'd be surprised at the amount of young people who had WLS... think of other as a way to be a healthier and happier you. ????

My surgeon requires all prospective patients attend a symposium. I did that last Wednesday. My insurance requires a six month diet with a nutritionist. My first appointment with her is Friday. Very nervous and excited to be starting this process!

I'm still going through the preliminary appointments I will be seeing psychologist on the 16.

The 15th I'm set up for an echocardiogram.

[ladyhaz 4]

I have to due 6 appointments before insurance will consider the surgery. My 4th appt. this month I haven't seen a nutritionist as of yet. Listening to some of you I feel like I'm behind I some areas.
