    Default Excited!!

    Hi all,

    Had my first appt today. I was originally scheduled for Monday but the nurse was sick so it was rescheduled to today. My appointment went good. I have to have an ekg, us of the liver, labs, sleep study, go to a psych and I have to see the hemotolgist because I have von wilibrands disease so he wants to consult with him to ensure all the proper meds and procedures are taken. I have my first weight mgmt appt Monday, ultra sound is on Friday and my first appt with the nutritionist is on the 10th. You get a binder that you take home and have to bring with you to all appts. Lots of info! Anticipated surgery date looks to be sometime in November. Ready for a new me!

    I would imagine that seems like a long way from now but honestly, in my experience, it is an exciting time if you are committed. Just imagine all the things you will do with the new you,.. maybe even do a little shopping for her. I was so pumped and couldn't stop smiling once I committed!

    All my best to you on your journey!
    Bagawk!

    I started my process in May of last year and was sleeved in November. It felt like it took forever but since I have had my surgery I swear that time has flown by! I am glad to hear your surgeon is providing you with lots of documentation. It is good to feel well informed and know what to expect. Not all doctor's offices give a lot of stuff. I was blessed in this aspect as well. Good luck!

    I am waiting on my first appointment. I pray that all goes well for you during your testing and that you will have no complications between now and Nov. I am anxious to get started but nervous for the surgery. It sounds like you are devoted to this new life as I am! Best of luck!!

    All those tests and a wonderful binder, ah, I remember it well. I still refer to my binder from time to time. It sounds like it's all going well and you've got a great attitude. Your new you will be here in no time. So glad for you!

    Yay for getting started! Such an exciting time after that first appointment thinking about what the future holds. It has been three months for me and my surgery is May 22nd. Good luck with your appointments and smooth sailing to November.
