Today I attend the informational bariatric class at HCMC, after class I met with the surgeon and choose gastric bypass,he said i was a great candiate for the gastric bypass surgery laparoscopic so im excited!! I also took the 547 something test lol, My Psychological evaluation is on Sept 17th Long ways away, but in the mean time, I will be doing my Health Partners "Call to change" phone program. I also have my dietitian appointment Aug 06th at 8am. I am so excited to do this..

Hi Christina-

Welcome to the Minnesota Board and the journey of a lifetime!  You will find that the people here are not only supportive , but are a wealth of information!  If you can please join one of the groups for coffee on Saturday mornings- it is great fun!

You will be amazed at how quickly your phone calls and other insurance hoops will go- use this time to truly get your head in the game for the lifestyle changes you will need to make along your journey.

Enjoy the weekend!
