New To The Bariatricpal and Going Through The Process

[Jamie Middleton_177947 0]

Hello,

I am new to this whole thing. First things first, I am a 35 year old male and for the last couple of years I have been toying with the idea of having some sort of weight loss surgery. This past Monday my best friend and I went to an introductory seminar and later that night I submitted my information to apply to have the surgery. Right now I am waiting for the hospital (St Joseph's East in Lexington, Kentucky) to get back with me after they confirm that my insurance does cover weight loss surgery. Im excited to be started on the process and cant wait to experience it as I get deeper into the process.

I'm new here too. I haven't made any post but I am finishing up my pre op. I have my final surgeon appt on the 23rd and my last NUT on the same day!

Nervous and excited at the same time.

I know exactly how you're feeling. It's an incredible journey and will be worth the wait and all the hurdles you have to jump.

One day soon you'll get that call with your surgery date and it's like no other feeling in the world.

This is a great place to learn. You'll love it! Welcome!
