HELP!!! What's next??
I got my call as well. My referral went in on August 2009 and my appointment is for July 16th in Bathurst. So after that what happens next? I've found out all kinds of stuff about the surgery etc, but my question is what happens after the first appointment? Like do you go on a liquid diet for 3 months or do you have to lose weight before the surgery and how long does it take usually to get your surgery after your consolation. I have as well seen people posting 6 weeks after surgery and are down 50lbs? Is this normal? I am so very excited not to be my groups TOKEN FAT FRIEND with the great sense of humor!! I want to shop in normal stores and live to see my daughter get married!!
After you first consult you will have another appointment for an info session, then next appointment will be surgery.. With Dr. Savoie you do Diabetic Boost for 2 weeks before surgery.. Diabetic boost and water only.. you need to to that to shrink your liver for surgery.. I had my first appointment July of last year and was sleeved in January.. so 6 months.. Now it may not be like that for everyone that's just how it was for me.. (time frame wise) I lost 50 lbs in two months.. now five months later I am down 97 lbs.. This surgery is best thing I could have ever done for myself.. Im happy, have more energy and Im shrinking and Im sure I have added more years to my life.. I still have a ways to go and that's ok... I will get there.. Take care and all the best!!
