My Journey Has Officially Started!

[fairee 82]

:D So I officially began my WLS journey today! I met with my surgeon for my consultation and it couldn't have gone any better. I feel so comfortable with my surgeon and his team. My doc is also the surgeon who I saw last year for another consult. It was comforting to go into his office and being recognized right away. This is a smaller program, so it is very personal.

I was lucky enough to have found you guys here so I knew what I wanted to ask and was able to also follow what he said.He told me that he was impressed with the knowledge I already have about RNY.

I will be seeing the NUT on Monday and am in the process of scheduling the psych eval, EKG, and lab work. I don't have to have mammo or scope because he did the scope on me in May & I'm current on my mammo.

I'm so excited! I feel great relief knowing that I'm taking control of my health again. Last Wed. I stopped smoking. I am using an e-cig to help, but I don't rely on it. I'm going to do this for ME! I deserve it!

Congratulations on taking the first step. Learning as much as you can does make the decision so much easier.

Best of luck and keep us posted.
