my first appointment

I am going to my first appointment with Dianna and Janet just wondering if anyone can tell me what is this stage. What happens after this appointment thanks so much all

Hi Kim,

My appointment with them was March 27th, 2009, and I felt it went well.

Be sure to write down everything you have eaten for a couple of days prior to your appointment.  As well if you get the chance to read / print the surgery info from the Capital Health Web site this information is very helpful and will give you answers to many questions, and maybe generate more to ask Diana and Janet.

They are both very nice.  You will go through the typical check and questions such as height, weight, blood pressure and all that fun stuff, and a medical history.  They will also ask if you tired to do the liquids diet as well.  They will give you information like whick surgeon you may be seeing, of course this is depending on the type you've chosen, I presume VSG as this is the common one right now in Halifax, and chat with you about an appointment with the Psychologist, and basically where you are at both physically and mentally.

I was actually in to see the surgeon today so it has been moving forward quite quickly for me.

If you feel like chatting let me know, I can share what I know so far from my journey.  This is very exciting and one step closer to your goal.

Take care,

Nadine

thanks so much I am doing liquids this week it is going okay I just keep thinking of the rewards.I am also hoping for VSG did they give you a date for your surgrey? keep in touch Kim

How are you doing on day 3 Kim?  I am starting next week along with some gals at work. Misery loves company, I figure. Hang in there.

Awesome, you rock Kim!  Hang in there. I will need your strength, willpower and tenacity next week.

I am also on my third day. The hunger has calmed down to a dull roar. I also keep thinking of the weight loss coming. Have any of you weighed yourselves? I haven't - don't own a scale! 

I find I am not as hungry as I was the last 2 days it is much better it is just to keep my mind off food.so how far are you in this process are going to see dianna or have had your app already.I haven't weight myself since I started it either.My doctor weights me once a month I will see then nice talking to you

Ok sorry to bud in but I have to know - why is everyone doing the liquid diet and I dont think anyone is having surgery right now- I have been away for a week - did I miss something ??
 
Ok sorry I am confused - I did optifast the week before surgery - was supposed to be 2 weeks but my date got bumped up by a week ..... ok that is all - sorry just had to know! lol

Hi Deb

We actually have to try a trial week of full liquids to practice  seeing how we do with it and so we will know what to expect immed before surg and post surg,  then another week of full liquids the week before surgery.

Cheers,
