My doctor is Dr. Jessee, she does NUT, PYSCH, and 1st Dr. visit all in one day. Dr. Rehnke does his differently.

I do not remember when my first seminar was but, I filled out a form and waited for a phone call from them to get an appointment. I believe it took about 3 weeks to a month to get that appointment which was on August 12th. On that visit I did my NUT, PSYCH, and DOCTOR visits and received my surgery date for the 25th of September. I have blood work, chest x-ray, EKG, and endoscopy to be completed and in my file by September 18th, one week before my surgery date. On the 20th I will see my doctor for the pre-op visit to answer any questions, check my weight, and give me my needed prescriptions like for nausea and such.
My pre-op diet starts on the 11th of September and consists of 2 meals of protein shakes and a meal of 4 oz of lean protein and green veggies. (which the protein shakes are given of 2 huge containers at you NUT class and is included with the program fee) You are aware of the program fee, are you?
I hope that was helpful to you, that was not a lot of questions And yes, maybe we can meet up somewhere.

I will keep you posted. Do you live anywhere close to New Port Richey or Tampa? I only ask because I'm just trying to find some friends who have something in common, and this is one big thing to start off with. This is going to be a major change in my life and yours as well. I really do not have the support I need. My husband is really trying to be supportive but, he always thinks on the negative side of things. These forums are okay but, they are not giving me the support I really need. I need a friend physically in front of me to actually see, hear, and be with during this scary but yet promising journey. I don't mean to sound weird or anything but, I feel all alone...

Thanks for the encouragement and get well wishes.
