Starting my journey at BI - Boston

[io0oi 6]

I just had my first visit to Beth Israel today and they started the ball rolling right away! I am scheduled for about 8 other appointments over the next two months. I feel confident I am making the right decision, but I can't help but feel nervous too. I know that it's different for everyone, but curious to hear what your time frame is/was from labs to surgery date? If you are going to BI, even better thank you!!

Which surgeon? I am two weeks out from BI. I had Jones.

It took me seven mouths to get all the spots in because of my work schedule, they are great there very supportive.

No surgeon yet. Just at the beginning of everything! A friend had Jones, and recommended him. Were you happy with his work? Thanks!

I have my appointment with Schneider tomorrow. Can't wait! Hoping for a September date

Congrats! I am about 1/2 way through all post op visits and I meet with the medical director at the end of the month. I had my RN appointment this week and i was just below 40 bmi. So now I need to make sure I don't go below when I see her again at the end of the month. It's strange not trying to lose weight and actively trying to keep my weight up a couple of pounds. ????

Got my surgery date - 9/14

J170...how are you doing? Only 5 days, right?

Thanks for asking! I feel good. 5 more days. Pre-op diet is going well. I find that I'm not hungry. Just nervous
