Finally Taking the First Step

Ok  so I've been pondering weight loss surgery for a couple years now. I don't know why it has taken me this long to get the ball rolling. But, I am happy to announce I have taken the first step. I am attending Dr. Kligman's seminar tomorrow night. After that I will schedule my first appointment. I have already recieved lots of advice and support from many of you and I thank you very much. I know, however, I am going to continue to need it. Looking forward to joining all of you on this incredable journey.

Hi Danni - Making that first step of going to the seminar and learning so much about this process is a big deal. And Dr. Kligman gives it to you real...I hope you are pleased. I'm a fellow patient of his and I will be having surgery in May.

Feel free to message me at any point during the process if you have any questions from a patent's point of view. I went through the 6 month supervised diet with his program as well. I will tell you this though...call his office a little after 9am on Thursday to set that first appointment! Expect to wait about a month to get your first appointment but that's actually pretty normal. You can spend that month getting a lot of things ready so it doesn't seem so long (psych evaluation, support letter from primary physician, etc.)

Best of luck!!!

WELCOME DANNI AND CONGRATS ON TAKING THE 1ST STEP!
Believe me, you have given yourself the best gift by taking the 1st step. It's always smart to educate yourself on the different WLS, and getting to know the process. Good Luck on your decisions, and enjoy the seminar!  Leslie:)

It's a big decision, and sometimes taking that first step is the scariest one.   Best of luck on your journey!

Congratulations on the first step - it took me almost five years to make it.  The people on this board are the best and we'll all be here to answer any questions or concerns for you.  Good luck on starting your journey - it's only going to get more incredible.
