Hello All! Newbie here...

After my initial consult with Dr. Sebastien on Jan 10, I really focused on getting my appointments scheduled as quickly as I could so I could set a surgery date.  

So far I have done the following:

1/11 - Psych Eval
1/12 - GI initial consult
1/13 - Labwork
1/19 - Pulmonary initial consult
1/19 - sleep test (yes, they scheduled it for the same night as the initial visit!)
1/20 - fitness consult
1/20 - dietician consult
1/20 - sleep study results appt (later this afternoon)

I have an appt with a dr. to go over the labwork on 1/23 and an endoscopy on 2/1.
I also start my 2 week pre-op diet on 2/1.
My surgery date has been set for 2/15. Yay!  

You have been a busy bee! Congrats on your upcoming surgery and look forward to seeing you on the loser's bench!!

 Thank you, I'm excited to do this, can you tell? LOL

I want to say that I have been reading OH posts for the past few weeks, and this is such a great support group. I really appreciate how amazing everyone is with sharing information and helping each other out. we're all going towards the same goal - to be healthy! 

I LOVE this place! Everyone here has been so helpful to me. I know those that have been around for awhile see the same type of questions, but I have always found someone willing to answer mine and share information! This message board in an invaluable resource!! Look forward to hearing about your progress

Welcome! Feel free to ask questions! Congrats!

 Thank you! I look forward to sharing this journey with all of my fellow sleevers! 

I also had my first dr. consult with the surgeon in January.  I have to go on a 6 month supervised diet before they will schedule the surgery.  You must have great insurance.  Good luck with your surgery.  I hope you will post your progress.

Sounds like you are well on your way! You got this!

 Thanks! Less than a month now until I'm on the loser's bench with all of you! Can't wait to finally be healthy again!
