Got my Internist appt!
For next Thursday, April 7th!!
What happens after this appt? I can't remember all the people that are seen prior to the surgeon. I think there's one more, then the surgeon. Am I right?

MY RNY DIDN'T FAIL ME - I FAILED IT.
Thanks for the info, jthompson. I seem to remember another class being mentioned (some have said that for other hospitals, there has been a 'gastric bypass class').
I'm going to request surgery in June rather than May. I certainly wasn't expecting anything to happen much before the end of the summer since my original Nurse/Dietician meeting wasn't scheduled until June 10th, and I've got things to do before surgery.
I definitely know how lucky I am to have this happening so quickly. I know I lucked out on this and thank my lucky stars, guardian angel or whatever/whomever is looking out for me!

Hopefully the rest of my appointments will get booked as quickly as yours Beth.
Good for us. Maybe we'll have our surgery around the same time but I'll be happy to take the May appointment. lol

My blood tests were done the end of February and my orientation was on Feb. 7th.
Good luck, I hope something comes up for you. Sometimes I think it is just a question of "right place, right time."
