New and Nervous

Hi There

I have posted another board but felt at home on the CA board.  I went to my Kaiser pcp a few weeks ago and mentioned wls revision because I have gained back 150lbs give and take... He sent me for a bunch of blood work, an upper GI etc and today I am going for the results of all the tests.  I was also told that I would be contacted last week by the bariatric programme to schedule an appointment...didn't happen.

Is it weird to want to have all your tests be BAD so that I can have a chance at a revision??  If they are ok, then of course I have a battle ahead of me and I am nervous about that.  So today is the day that I find out where I stand and if I am starting on the path to wls or not..  I feel like a little kid who is totally unprepared for a battle that may not even happen

WOW.  I'll keep you in my prayers.  Sorry they didn't call you back.  I hate that.  What type of surgery did you have and how did this happen?  I am new to this so excuse the ignorance. I am getting ready for a lapband surgery in early April and I really am looking for someone to connect to in Calif. I am in the bay area.

Good luck with the revision! Keep calling until someone LISTENS!!

Hi Ann Marie,

You mentioned you are looking for someone to connect with in CA. There is a group of us that meet once a month in Concord and have lunch and hang out, and do a clothing exchange. NewBarb2 usually posts about the lunches.I believe our next on is April 24th. Everyone is welcome. If your ever interested you should come. It is a great group of people who are really supportive, or if you ever need to chat just drop me a PM. Good Luck on your surgery. Not much longer and you will be on the losers bench with us.
