First Nurse Appt tomorrow!

I'm so excited! I have my first nurse appointment tomorrow (aside from the fact I have to wake up before 5am to drive 2 hours to Windsor for it). 

Do they give you your next appointments after it and do they schedule more than 1 in a day since I live a good distance away? 

Yes, you should get your next appointments when you are there that day and they will try and get you some on the same day, don't be afraid to ask them to do it and reschedule them if you have to.  They just go ahead and book them without checking with you first. 

do you get appointment dates when you are there for the orientation?

I got my nurse appointment (tomorrow's) when I had orientation in May. 

Yes if you decide you want to continue with the process they will make the appointment for you. You have to be 6 months smoke free or you won't move on and will here to start fresh when you been 6 months smoke free. 

All done! I have my nut class August 16, Doctor consult August 24 and social worker consult August 30. 

They said I should get my dietician appointment after my nut class or doctor visit. 

I'll be there August 16 @ 11:15am for my second doctor consult! 

Glad things are moving along for you. 

My class is at 1:30. 

Does everyone do 2 Doctor visits? The nurse said he may order a sleep apnea but I only meet 2/8 critiea. 

Sorry for the delay in replying... I had my first doctor visit in April. He reviewed all the tests I had done and prescribed vitamin D because I was borderline low. I saw Dr Shaban. He was very nice and informative... the appointment was maybe 10-15 minutes. 

He said I didn't need the sleep apnea study because I don't snore and breathe well with my mouth closed. I had my adenoids out as a child. 

Yay me! 

But I do need the second doctor visit. He tells you to lose weight at the first visit and I was upfront about how when I set my mind to losing weight, I do so very quickly. Its keeping it off that's an issue for me. 

So he gave me a number and told me not to go too crazy. He wanted me to lose 18lbs. Which I've done. 

Good luck with your appointment! 

I guess appointments do move quicker if they are individually booked.

Had my nurse appointment end of June. Was told trying to book appointments together make it a bit longer. Although I guess, I did have the nutrition class and social worker appointment on August 16, until this week I was told there would be no social worker.  So I'm tripling up my appointment with my doctor appointment in early Septemeber. Going to be a long day! lol Hopefully booking after that will be a bit quicker.

I was told after the class then you will book your appointment for the dietician. I would assume like how they booked the NP after Orientation.

Good luck to you in your journey.
