Hi everyone!

This is my first post and I'm so happy to have found this site. I'm just starting the process and have my 1st appointment with Dr. Geiss on Tuesday (4/15). I've learned so much by visiting here and I'm looking forward to my journey and meeting new friends here along the way.

Hi Everyone: This is my first post too. I did quite a bit of research on this site, and have learned alot. I have just been approved from Tricare Prime. I have my 2nd visit with the surgeon next week, from there we will set the surgery date. I figured since I know now that I will be banded I might as well join in.

Hi Lisa,

I just had my appointment with Dr. Geiss about 2 weeks ago. What did you think? I am excited. Do you have any of your testing done yet? I still have to go to the pulmonary doc and my endocrin doc. Are you going to go to the meeting next week? Maybe i'll see you there.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the reply. I was very pleased with my first visit with Dr. Geiss and his staff. They are all very helpful, friendly, and patient with any questions I have. Before my first visit, I already had my appointments lined up (a co-worker used Dr. Geiss and she gave me the paperwork on the required tests). Just yesterday I went to the pulmonary Dr. and tomorrow (5/1) I go to the cardiologist. You mentioned going to the meeting....isn't it next Tuesday (5/8)? I went to the one in April and it was so inspiring. I had tears in my eyes because for the first time, I knew that this will really help me to finally lose the weight. I'm very excited and positive about this journey and I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Geiss and his staff. I also look forward to meeting new people in the same boat, such as yourself, and sharing our experiences. I look forward to hearing back from you.
