First Consultation

Jan 12, 2014

So... I am attending a free informational session on Tuesday, January 21st. The surgeons office called and I have my first appointment with the nutritionist on February 3rd then my first appointment with the doctor on February 11th. I don't particularly want to go alone but I have not told any of my family yet. I probably should but I am afraid they will just point out all of the things that could go wrong and make me doubt my decision. I would prefer to move forward without any negative energy.  

Right now I think I want to proceed with the vertical sleeve. It is a little scary to think about having a large portion of my stomach removed but my understanding is this procedure cuts down on the mal-absorption. Besides, I think it's better than having everything re-routed. I am praying it doesn't take MONTHS for me to actually schedule my surgery. From reading many of the posts here on OH, it seems the process was pretty quick for a lot of folks. I guess the time frame will depend on what my insurance company requires and also my doctor. 

I guess I will just have to wait and see...
