Have my consultation tomorrow 😁 I’m so excited and nervous. Is it just me but I always have to take a “nervous ****” before I go to doctors appointments? 😂😂😂

Hi guys, welcome to all. I am thru all the have to do list, cleared for everything, i am just waiting on my surgery date. The waiting is killing me, at least when i had all the appts to go to time went fast. Everytime my phone rings my heart skips a beat. Soooo excited to be this far along, i started the process the end of November. Good luck to us all keep us posted.

I’ve met with my surgeon once and absolutely love him! I’ve completed a visit with the dietician and my psych evaluation. I have PCP appt 2 of 4 on Thursday and my endoscopy on Friday. After that it’s just 2 more PCP visits until I request approval from my insurance company. The wait is killer! Also, slowly changing my habits one thing at a time but not losing any pounds and it’s the most frustrating.

Dayum, you done trumped me when I had something to share Drea. I passed my revaluation this AM and the Bariatric Choo Choo is back on track and chugging forward. Doesn't look like May since I won't be going to meet case manager, dietician and nurse practioner until May 24th, so maybe June? I will keep you all updated, gosh I feel so much better😝, not only that things are moving but also about myself. Try as you may, you can't escape blaming yourself. It's bad enough when the world screws you over,but to fear it's something you yourself did? Bad Sad Scene😖. But life is cool, I'm no fool 😍and I'll no longer let anyone treat me cruel😈

I started about a month ago and just had my second appt with the surgeon. I am learning so much about things I never knew about diabetes and managing my sugar. I have lost 4 lbs with adding Protein to my diet. This month I will work on flipping my eating schedule so I eat my largest meal (not that large😏) at Breakfast and not dinner and drinking more Water. Any good tips on high protein breakfast options in addition to the shake that I can take on the run?

I have my endoscopy in about 20 minutes. My surgeon schedules this early on in the process but I’ve heard of some people getting theirs days before their surgery. What does your surgeon recommend?
