Welcome! You may want to check out the surgery-specific site for VSG; a lot more people who've had that surgery post there every day.

I would also suggest checking out the specific sites for RNY and DS, just so you have good information about other options out there for you too.

Goal reached in 7 months and 1 week!

You can call the place where you have the appointment and ask what to expect. It might be different for different surgeon's offices. I didn't go to any kind of orientation, myself.

Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.

It was a 4 hour talk on different kinds of surgery. The Nurse, Nutritionist, Physicist and Doctor came in put in a little info.

thye had us do chest xrays, EKGs and Fasting labs for in the morning. Told me it could take up to 6 months.

Not being sure what you've already done, I would say to expect some weight loss classes, a few tips on how to prepare for surgery, and a few tests to be scheduled to make sure you're healthy enough for surgery.

Congratulations and GOOD LUCK!
