Hi dragonfly 515. How about I was at that info session on Saturday also. And my first consult date is also on the 13th. It looks like we will be possibly be there to support each other. I have lots of questions also.... I think the time frame with my insurance is 3-4 months. So we are on our way.

I'm new to all of this too. After years of considering WLS, I finally went to an information session at GBMC and my consult is 2/13... From what I know so far is that their program does include manditory support groups - so thats always a good way to meet people. :)
Good luck!!

GBMC doesn't have a 'group nutrition class" so it won't be easy to meet people. My sister had surgery there. In my 6mth program at franklin square I met a wonderful group of ppl that I keep in contact with.
My weight loss has been a little slow but other than that things are great. I haven't had any problems.

This is for when after having the gastric bypass surgery. This is like going back to basics as if you just had weight loss surgery. It helps you feel restriction and kick the carbohydrate cravings.

Topic: Newest newbie
Is there a pre-newbie category? If so I should be in that group since I don't even have insurance coverage yet.
I'll be shopping for insurance ( self employed) and hanging around here to learn more about local resources, recommended surgeons and preferred hospitals.
So, nothing to contribute for now, just an introduction.
Cheers

Thanks Dori. I am really looking to learn more and meet people from our area who has and are having the surgery. I am going to look into GBMC this week. How is your journey going now? I'd like to hear more...

I went to Dr. You at Franklin Square Hospital.The 6mth nutrition program that my insurance required cost $300. You have until you finish the class to pay. If your insurance only requires a 3mth program it's $150. The fees are only for the nutritional stuff everything else was covered under my insurance. I have friends who went elsewhere so i know a little bit about other programs too.
Johns Hopkins nutrition program cost $35 per visit (monthly)
GBMC has no fees
