New Here Pre-Op

I am new here. I am in the process of getting cleared by everyone for bypass. I am shooting for a January 2016 surgery date. I'd rather do it in December but am trying to stay realistic ;-)

I had a endoscopy in July 2014 so I hope that covers the gastroenterologist. The pulmonologist has cleared me already. My psych eval is scheduled. I am waiting for an appointment with the exercise specialist and will attend my first support group meeting tomorrow.

I have been considering this on and off for 10 years. I am ready to do this.

Welcome and good luck!

Welcome! I'm only 4 days post-op and feel so new to this too!!!

Exercise specialist? Great idea; you must have an excellent program in your area. My WLS was right after Thanksgiving. Post-op, I was filled with relief and gratitude making for a Blessed Christmas. Same to you.

Yes, the program I am in seems VERY good. Thank you for the welcoming replies!
