New comer. Any suggestions/advice?

I had my consultation on 9/19. I go to my first of three Dr visits on 10/27. I’m shooting for my sleeve in Jan 2018. Any advice?

Hi Tiffany86- we are in the same boat, only a month apart. I went for my first Dr visit last night. Tomorrow I have to make appointments for an endoscopy and psych evaluation. Then go to the gym 3 times a week for 12 weeks. My surgeon is looking at a January 2018 op date for me. I’m so excited!!

Yep; take everything in its stride.

There might be delays (insurance, scheduling, etc), there will be hoops to jump through and most importantly your journey will be yours and yours alone.

Don’t go comparing yourself to others; it’ll only bring you down.

And do your research; I don’t mean just the success stories but there’s a lot to be learned from people who didn’t get what they wanted out of surgery as well.

It's not a quick fix. It's a tool and you will learn to use it for optimal results.

And everything else njgal said.
