I am on my way!
On Tuesday I attended my orientation and the support meeting that followed. Most of what was said at orientation I had either read here or in other research on the net, so no surprises there. The support meeting was the 3rd one I had attended and as usual it was wonderful. I keep meeting great people and learning more about how life will become after the surgery. I write down the helpful tips that I hear from the members, so that I can refer to them when I am post-op.
Today in the mail, I got my first 4 appointments! I can't tell you how excited that made me, because it now feels like this may really happen (medicare willing). I know this is silly of me, but I have been waiting for two and a half years for my medicare coverage to begin so that I could start this whole process and to now be able to schedule appointments just makes it all real for me. I am doing a little happy dance in my lift chair. (try not to picture it)

Congratulations!
For me it all became real when I received the envelope with the appointments. Prior to that RNY was a possibility, the appointments meant it was real.
