Newbie and ready to become healthy for 2015!!!

I am new to forums and have enjoyed reading all the questions and replies.  I had the Calgary Bariatric centre call me in November and I have my first intake meeting January 7th.  What is involved in this intake meeting and is this a start to my healthy goal for 2015?

Thanks!

i have no idea and cannot answer your question. i just want to say.....

.....go Newbie, go! 

Thanks Raze!!! 

I am also new to the forums but have found some of the questions and answers very helpful.  The first intake meeting is just getting to know you and your body ie: what medications you are taking, family history, health issues and talk about the different classes.  If you have finished the classes this meeting will be where you place your name on the surgery waitlist (happens after you finish your classes) if you are interested.  I finished all of my classes and a few info sessions and have been on the waitlist since June 2014, I had my second intake meeting the other day and am just waiting to meet with surgeon.  It is a long process but worth it.

If you are just starting the classes, I hope you find them informative.  Everyone there is in the same boat as you, so it makes it more comfortable. 

Good luck!

This is my first intake meeting so I guess I have a long long way to go.  I really just want to get the help with this weight and do what needs to be done.  I guess the fear of the unknown is always stressing.  I thank you for your help and we will see what happens.

Looking forward to all the help on this site too.
