I just found this website today and Ive spent the bulk of the day going throught the forums, and reading about all of your stories...This is exactly what Ive been looking for. I love having access to so much information and so many different people in various stages of weight loss...its a comforting relief to see so many of you experiencing such great success.
I am in the very early stages of finding a surgeon and getting a referal ect. I am finding this process to be extremely frustrating as the information I require isnt readily available. Where do you start exactly? I see that some of you are being forced to wait forever for your surgeries while others only months...why is this? What are the determining factors that make it so much harder for some? Are most of you finding that your family doctors are supportive and giving you the correct info and referals OR are you having more luck by taking matters into your own hands? I guess Im just wondering, what advice to you give to someone like myself who is just getting started? Anything I should prepare for in these very early stages? Can someone explain to me the early process in detail?
Thanks!
