Greetings to all:

Thursday 1/19/12 I had my first meeting with my nutritionist. It was a group setting of eight patients, two men and four ladies. The four hours went by fairly quick, the nutritionist explained everything about what foods we should be eating after surgery, sipping water and drinking our shakes. We were given a detailed booklet, with all the information we need before and after WLS. I really enjoyed the meeting, and one better I made two new friends, whom I turned onto OH. They had never heard of OH before, so maybe we'll have two more friends joining. The insurance company will not pay for nutritional consultation.

I have to meet with the nutritionist for the next six months before surgery.

Now it's just a matter of waiting and praying.

Its totally worth the wait and you will learn so much with the nutritionist. I finished all of my requirements and and going in for surgery on the 31st. The time will pass quickly. Stick with it and you will do great!

Glad you are on the way.  You'll also be able to provide support (and answers to questions) for us.  Happy to hear it was a good group experience and you are with others sharing a common goal and support.  Keep it up!  Sounds worth it, even if the insurance won't cover it.
