First Visit Complete!

[Arual85 26]

I had my first visit today to begin my journey! I am lucky that I live in Cleveland and have lots of access to the Cleveland Clinic. My surgeon was great, very nice - thorough, answered all my questions and after learning about my history and concerns, we decided that the bypass was the best option for me. I was surprised as I went into it convinced that I wanted the sleeve but he obviously had much more knowledge than I do. Now I meet with the nutritionist and psychologist next week! He said to expect surgery around July/August!

I had my first visit yesterday and I am so ready to begin this journey. I’m tired of years of the yo yo dieting, pills and such. The whole team is awesome and I am blessed to be in good hands. We are expecting surgery around July/ August.

So exciting! The process seems to go quickly once it gets moving along! It’s good that you have access to the Cleveland clinic! I was actually just looking into weekend getaways in Ohio! I’m about 40mins from Erie PA. I’m hoping to be scheduled for May 🤞. Keep us posted on your journey!
