I had my first consultation the 28th of February and I’ll be having my first support group (required in CT) next week and I’ll have my first referral appointment with a radiology to do some testing (swallowing a chalky substance?) .. it looks like after all the required visits and submission to insurance I’ll be looking at the end of July early Aug. I went through all of this back in 2015 and backed out when submitted to insurance (I got scared out of it) and I regret it because I’ve only struggled even more since then. Definitely following through this time and I’m looking forward to reaching goals with you guys ! [emoji5]

A ways off but you have time to set down good habits that will benefit you on surgery day and beyond. Reduce your portion sizes, give up colas, sugery drinks, cut back on caffeine until. you can give it upI increase your exercise level even if you have to start by more walking, biking or going to,the gym. Can't afford a gym membership? Walk at the mall. Learn all you can about your future procedure, a calm mind is a happy mind. And enjoy your journey. Any questions? Just ask, we're full of experiences and,live to help.[emoji12][emoji173][emoji12]

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
