Gonna get healthy!

Hi everyone - this is my first post on OH!  I am very new to the WLS world and have only attended a seminar so far.  I made my consultation appointment for June 10th and then I have an orientation to my physician's office's 12 week program on the 17th.  Unfortunately my insurance company makes me go the whole 6 months until they'll pay for surgery but I'm hoping it will go fast!

Anyway, I'll be around and reading up as much as I can....thanks in advance for any advice or knowledge that you share!

Welcome to the group. Looking forward to reading many posts and sharing this adventure with you.

Use this 6 months to start any habits that will be your lifestyle after surgery. I found it hardest to stop drinking liquids 30 minutes before a meal and wait 30 minutes after a meal for more liquids. But it can be done. This is so much easier after surgery.

Whick surgery are you investigating? What is your first name? I am Kathy. Had RNY sept of 2009. Loving the results to this point. Ask any and all questions. We will do our best to assist. Hugs

Welcome to the group!  I have found a lot of support here and I'm sure you will too.  Good luck and keep posting.

Best of luck as you go through the process. The 6 months to wait can seem so long at first, but once through it, you will be like "wow that flew by". As suggested above, use this time to educate yourself and begin instilling healthy lifestyle habits. The more you initiate and learn now, the easier it will be for you post-op.
