North Dakota new wannabe



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. Since I started posting threads a few days ago, I thought I'd introduce. I am starting my consultations visits on May 2. According to the nurse, since I am a self-pay, I should be in around the 1st of June. One question I have is whether you got weak (from lack of food) and for how long?

I live in North Dakota but love to travel. In the summer, I ride motorcycle - alot. My last four motorcycles have been HD Road Kings - hence my screen name.

Did anyone plan anything special for themselves during the process? Like when my tax refund comes in 2006, maybe I should visit Viet Nam or rent a motorcycle in New Zealand to reward myself.

I'm appreciating the answers and support I've been finding here and can't wait to join in. Celeste

Welcome Celeste!

I haven't planned anything special for myself during the process, but this is a great question! This would be a great topic under the Lounge area! You should start a thread there with this question! We have had a recent thread about what we want to do to reward ourselves for reaching goal, but I haven't seen anything about during. (I'm a full time student, and when I finish school, and before I go off to surve I want to take one of those extreem driving courses, like spys or stunt drivers do.)

I love your idea about renting a bike in New Zealand! We have several members in OZ...

      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.
