First Appointment

Hi All..... I had my first doctor appointment with Dr. Harris yesterday so my journey has officially begun.  Going to support group Monday.  Managed to get my first nutritionist appt the 17th and psychologist appt the 24th.  I'm so excited and I just had to share with all of you.

Congratulations. I did not see my doctor until I had completed my nutrition visit, psych visit, and had all of the paperwork completed. When you go to psych visit have your weight loss history with you. They usually want to know what you have tried to lose weight and they want to know if you understand all of the risk and understand the surgery you have chosen.

Good luck. Keep us updated. It is so exciting to start the experience.

Hi, thanks for the advice.  I'll be sure to have everything ready.  By the way I noticed you had your surgery at Frye in Hickory.  I assume you may be from that aread??  I grew up just outside Hickory and moved to Wilmington 8 years ago.

Oh I live 1 hour and 45 minutes away. I live in a little town 30 minutes west of Asheville called Called.

Congrats Charlene!

Hi Charlene,
    
 I had Dr. Harris too. I was going to go to the support group Monday but couldn't make it. There was supposed to be a fitness instructor there. Did you learn any useful tips I can use? LOL Could use them.
Best of luck to you. You have a wonderful surgeon. He's doing my hernia repair next week too. Whoo hooo!
Hope to meet you soon.
