Scheduled my Consult with the surgeon

[Véronique 238]

So, I've just completed my medical weight loss classes, obtained my psychological/psychiatric and medical clearance, attended the bariatric patient education seminar, and I am ready to finally do this! The consult is scheduled for the 31st of July and based on the timeframe I've received from the surgeon's office in the patient education seminar, I can expect to be on the table sometime between the 28th of August and the 11th of September. Unfortunately, because of the way the program is set up, I cannot do anything more at this time (which sucks, because I really do want to get my dietary clearance out of the way but can't because I can't schedule this until I've attended the consult) but the last couple of things are my pre-op appointment with the surgeon (which the surgeon's office will make for me) and my pre-admit appointment.

Hi Veronique, just take each thing as it comes. There's a reason things happen the way they do! I wish you the best! Post your progress. Where are you getting your surgery done?

I'm planning on having it done with Northern Colorado Surgical Associates at Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado.

I'm trying to keep on my toes with everything just to be sure that on the day of surgery, nothing trips me up. This is the second bariatric programme I've been in because the first one (down in Denver) spiked my surgery because I have clinical depression. I think it had more to do with the fact that they wanted a psychologist who didn't have a working relationship with me to do the psychological clearance instead of my regular psychologist who knows me better. Since I've been working at this for a year and a half, I'm anxious to get this done ASAP.
