My first consult appointment with my surgeon is July 20th. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Anyone else just starting their journey? I'm in Southern Maryland.

Hi @@qmissy824 i, like you, am also just starting my journey. My appointment is 8/2 I'm in Florida. I'm looking forward to starting the process and seeing what the bariatric surgeon says. Keep me posted on your appointment. Hopefully we will both be on the same timeline. Are you going through insurance?

Best of luck!! Any questions you have ask ask ask.

Bariatric surgery is like a team sport... you have your "team" taking care of you - nutritionist, surgeon, office staff, etc. Any questions you have don't hesitate to ask us here, but more importantly talk to your surgeon about any concerns you have about the procedure itself.

I'm a week post-op today and feeling great.

Hi. Yes I am going through insurance. I hope it all works out good with them. Going for my fitness consult in the morning and my asthma flares up. So Im using my nebulizer hoping to clear it up. So are you nervous? I am nervous and excited all together.

@@qmissy824 you know, I'm not nervous yet I'm actually really excited as this is something I've wanted since I was 18. Now as I'm approaching 31, I decided it's finally time. After many years or struggling with my weight losing 120pounds, then gaining and losing over and over again. I decided enough is enough.

I had really bad asthma as a child, I had to use a nebulizer throughout the winter and an inhaler in the summer so I know your struggle with asthma flare ups. Sending you positive vibes and I hope all goes well with your consult.

Have you met your surgeon at a seminar or will this be your first meet and great?

We have a lot to look forward to! :-)
