Topic: New to the group

Hi everyone!

I'm new to the group.  I started my WLS back in January and have a VSG date of 6/8/15.  I am super excited to start my new life yet very nervous.  I underwent my EGD yesterday, and all went well, so surgery is on track.  

I have two young girls and work in the medical field.  Hoping to find support here.  (I'm sure I will!)  :)

Anyone else here from the Toledo/Perrysburg/Maumee area?

I'm wondering if this varies by doctor?  I also have Paramount and only had to have 3 months monitoring with the dietitian and no weight history (though I went in with it, they didn't need it.)  I was approved within a week of submitting for approval. So, I started my process in January and am having surgery June 8th!  :)  My BMI is over 40.

My helpful tips would be to follow the plans that your doctors give you, if you have questions, as them!:), and then when you get frustrtated remind yourself why you did this in the first place!  I am only 9 weeks out and I have had my ups and downs with my own personal thoughts but overall, I would do this again in a heartbeat!
