Starting a new Journey

[Em_Jay75 81]

Just turned in my 7 Day Nutrition Journal. All that's left is my Endoscopy and Pysch Eval. I'm Super Nervous & Excited!

Yay! I can’t wait to get to that point!

I have my initial consult Friday! This is my second attempt (got approved for lap band in 2015 but I couldn't make my finances work out). This may actually be better because my new employer covers multiple types of surgery, I believe, and at a lower cost to me.

I feel like I'm better prepared this time, too.

Yay awesome! I got a call yesterday and my first consultation is April 25th I’m so excited!

I feel like I need to do ALL THE READING right this minute. And buy all the Protein Powder. You know, six months out, so I'll be prepared 🙄. My brain does some strange things sometimes LOL.

Hopefully I'll have an update Friday! I was surprised how quickly I got in, but then again, the hospital I work for is focused on patient care so they make it as easy as possible. I didn't even have to talk to anyone, I made my appointment online LOL

Please keep us updated

I will! The crazy thing is we have to already get our pcp clearance done before our consultation and this will be first time going to see a doctor since I was probably in grade school

Oh wow!! I’m not sure how it will work for me, so I guess we’ll see

I know it’s all different for everyone but I finally found a pcp and will have an appointment with them next week

That's pretty different from around here. I made my appt with the surgeon first, and I expect to find out what I need to do when I meet him. I have a pretty good idea since I have access to the hospital SharePoint [emoji16][emoji16]. It's fairly comprehensive.

I had an egd last year when they thought I was having gallbladder issues, I want to know if maybe that was recent enough. Probably not. I don't need to do sleep testing though 🙄. I already use a cpap for severe sleep apnea.

I know crazy. Well that’s good. I called my insurance today they require you to do a 6mntb program through weight watchers 😩 to get a approved for the surgery. I’m already getting tired from all this information I have to do.
