Waiting on my first consultation



Recommended Posts

My appointment is July 11th and its all I can think about. Can't wait to get the ball rolling to becoming healthier overall. I already go to the gym 4-5 times a week and eat well, just seems like none of this has worked or only has temporarily all my life.

Any new timers in the same boat as I am? I feel so emotionally invested in this already, I hope the process goes smoothly!

I started my process in Feb of 2016. My insurance requires 6 months with a nutritionist. In July will be my 6th month, hoping to have surgery in August. Let me tell you, it is all I think about and talk about. I am soo excited!

I am in the same boat with you. I walk a 3 mile loop 5-6 days a week and still haven't been able to loose weight. I just got my referral from my pcp for the vgs and I have my information class schedule on July 12. I have also have documentation of failing to loose weight under a physician care. I am hoping to get things checked off quickly. My bmi is at 40.7.

I am excited for you.

Wow, it seems like you are so much more prepared than I am haha. My healthcare center does a seminar on the sleeve on July 19th so I'm signed up to go. It's weird for me, I have lost weight (sometimes up to 30-40 pounds) but have trouble keeping it off. It's happened a few times so my doctor thinks it is best if I do the surgery to aid in the loss and work more on maintaining once I'm down. Let's stay in touch!

I am like you, I can loose but then I regain for me it's a cycle. I don't think I am more prepared, I started trying to lose weight with my doctors supervision back in November never planning on doing WLS but in march the doctor brought it up to me but I wasn't emotionally ready but I decided this last month I was ready and I like the idea of the VGS. I am excited about this choice and the life long lifestyle that it will offer.

I would love to hear how your july 11 appointment goes

I so feel you! I just had my first appt on June 24th and my next is July 15th to go all the tests results and meet with NUT. It's ALL I think about too!! I also workout a lot and eat pretty healthy most of the time and feel like my body does not match my lifestyle and I'm so tired of the struggle! Congrats on making the decision to get help and good luck on your first appt! Keep us posted!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
