WOW ! got my First Consultation Appt.

 I"m so happy, just got my first consultation appt. to see the Bariatric Doctor, finely things are moving, been waiting since  January ,  the appt is the 8th of April,  been on Protein Powder drinks since the 9th of March,
2 protein drinks aday and one low cal meal.........been pretty easy, but my weight is not moving , feel like its glued to me............but just keep taking one step at a time.    All is good, ready to do the surgery, but i figured that it mite be another few months to wait, due to the doctor wanting me to get some of this weight off first, or try too.  Hope everyone is well, beautiful day here in Merced County California.  Everyone have a great day and will get back soon as I get a date for surgery or more news. God Bless

Congratulations on your consult. You're on your way now, and what a journey it will be. 

We're all here for you!!!  Please keep us posted.

Yes you are on your way. Where do you live in Merced County? I live in Merced. I went to Fresno though. Dr. Swartz did my surgery. Good luck and keep us posted!

I"m in A****er  in a gated community off Buhach Rd., nice here, and got my first consultation appt. this morning, it was good, its all being done in Modesto, with Dr. Coates M.D. at Spanos Court by Memoriel Hospital.  Have to lose 50 lbs. and see the Clinical
Psychologist , been on protein powder twice aday and a low cal meal at lunch and drinking water and Crystal Light, and Sobe Healthwater.......really good too.  Its seems like its so hard to lose afew pounds at a time, body just don't want to let go.  Lost 6 lbs., so far........getting there a inch at a time.
Going to start driving to Modesto once a month for a weigh in then every 2 months make an appt., to talk with the nurse about whats happening with the diet, sounds good.
so very pleased with this.afew months and will get the surgery, having the RNY..........very excited about it.
hope you have a good week, we are lose, . God Bless
