Hi I am going to south coast as well I have dr streeter my surgery is July 24. I actually loved the seminar classes. We had a good group all we did was laugh so I was lucky ! Good luck

Hi there no problem I don't know how to add people so if you haven't already send me a request I will gladly keep you posted!!

Same here I have 3 monthly visits left its going though lol.

I had my second class yesterday and htey are Tobey Hospital. It was ok but I do not think that they are $500.00 worth. My teacher is a woman called Suzanne she's so tiny and I dont know if she was ever fat but everytime I brought something up she just shot me down time to move on kinda thing it upset me and I ifnally didnt say anything again. Buit I do have a lot of questions and I feel what other place to ask them then at sessions? I have my last class of 3 next monday, and hopefully by then I will have my insurance clearance, then its off to set a date for beginning of July. So excited and nervous all in one. But it seems to be the norm everyone feels the same way.

Hey how is the process going so far?

Hello Im going through the (fat classes), I like to call them. I had my 1st of 3 this last monday. I went to Dr Kreuger yesterday and all my paperwork will now be sent to my insurance company for approval. Im looking for a July date. How about you?

you need to pay before they will let you take them you can give half and half or however you need to but they will not put your name in until they have at least half and they wont let you start if its not paid.....thats the only bummer about the whole thing I could of done classes in May but I really didn't have the money so I did half and half and going to the june class!

My first appointment was on March 29th it does move rather quickly.....faster than I ever thought! The longest waiting is most likely the approval from insurance then the date for surgery. Originally my doctor was Colacchio but I'm switching to Dr Krueger because he has had more experiance wit the sleeve surgery and I personally feel more comfortable with that decision. The reveiws on him were awesome and he is the director of the bariatric progam in Wareham.

Welcome to your new life! I started my journey in March it moves pretty quickly with all the appointments. I have done both my dietitian visits and I have done all my pre-op at the hospital. I have 1 more psychologist appointment next week and the workshops left which start in June. Tomorrow is my appointment with the pulmonary care doctor to make sure everything is fine he gives like a second opinion to the surgeon. It has been a very busy start to my new beginning I'm nervous and happy all at once very happy to finally become healthier. have you started to cut down on your portions and cut out caffeine and cut out the sugar also if you start to make the changes on your own it becomes easier and like a second nature ! I did it and did so much better than I thought I started at 236.8 and by the time i saw the doctor for the first time i was 234.5 and then my second dietitian visit i was 228.5 I have started my protein drinks and vitamins and if you need ideas i can help you i was horrified about the protein drinks because everyone said they were gross but my first shot and i found a few flavors of the brand nectar that are awesome! i also like the caramel calcium citrate chews taste just like the caramel you melt for candy apples and i take the flinestones for my multi alot to take in but the more you absorb the better i have done a lot of reading.sorry for the long letter I get excited a little bit..lol let me know if you have anymore questions and what doctor do you have?
