Just wanted to say hello....I've been a member since January but didn't want to get fully in to this site until after I completed my six month weight loss program. Well I'm a week away from completion.

What I've Done So Far
***almost complete 6 month weight loss program (i'm going to have to dead the cliche that i've seen people say that the six months goes by so fast - NO IT DIDN"T....i've been a bag of nerves the whole time and it's seemed like forever since i made the decision!!!!)
***had an initial consult with my surgeon
***attended both the LB and the GB support group at St Agnes (by the way did I see someone say they are now on Tuesdays!!! because i want to go to the next one and my google calendar says that they are on Mondays)
***scheduled for the next 2 weeks my ultrasound for gallstones, my pysch evaluation, and my sleep study

What I need to do next
***What's next! Can someone help me =)
***I'd like to connect with all people on here but mainly people who are in the same process as me or who have recently had the surgery


That's all for now folks....TGIF!!!!

Hi welcome. 

I saw my doctor yesterday and was told I'm being submitted for my insurance now.

Yay!

as for what I had done, every doctor is different and even every patient is different.

for example my husband is at the same stage in the process as I am with the same doctor but he had to have different tests and sometimes more tests.

as I understand it different doctors have different support group times and dates.  my RNY support group is the first Tuesday of every month.  I've been to three and plan to keep going.

Hi and welcome!

I've had my initial consult, psyche eval and THEN insurance finally admits I need six months diet history so I had to backtrack a bit.  My 2nd meeting is next month. 

Look forward to hearing from you !
