I have my first appointment with my surgeon.

Well, I go July 14 to the surgeon's office for their information meeting.  I also received my referral from my PCP today.  So, I guess the process has begun.  The surgeon's office said my insurance usually makes you meet with the nutritionist for 6 months.  We will see. 

way to go
I remember last september going to the informational meeting, and here I am now 1 month post op and ready for my first fill on thursday.
The time went very fast from first meeting, to 6mo with the nut, then time for surgery, all was like it was planned for me.
Congratulations and good luck on your journey

James,

I have my first fill on Thursday, too!  Can't wait!

Congratulations on starting your journey!

I was self-pay, so I was able to move through the process very quickly (seminar on 4/28 and surgery on 6/5).

The Realize Band is the best decision I have ever made!

Awesome news!!! I remember that feeling, meeting my surgeon for the first time!!! Trust me it will go by sooo fast, even if it seems so slow right now!!!!

Good luck and keep us posted!!!
