Default It went Awesomely

My first appointment with the surgeon was more than I could have dreamed of!!! Not only is he top in his field here, but he's also a sleeve patient himself (sounds like a commercial hu lol) I told him I was afraid to step on the scale because I've been pigging out, knowing that my days of over eating were coming to an end. His answer was "75% of preops do that, join the club." i laughed. I was scheduled for a one hour appointment, we chatted for an hour-and- a-half. I was very worried about the outpatient part of having surgery but he put my mind at ease there. I left there with the assignment of having a sleep study done, having a blood workup done and a cardiac stress test. I also get the joy of having an endoscopy done....thank God they knock you out for it. If I were 6 months older they'd want a colonoscopy also....skated that one lol. I finally stood in front of a camera today and had the hubby take the same pic they did so I could see what it looked like. I look hideous. Years ago I had this great little petite figure and now my stomach is bigger than my chest, BUT...that is all going to change now.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It sounds like you are well on your way...anticipation, not fear. GOOD FOR YOU!!!
Keep posting and if able, put that pic up. There is a place on this site for your album. I can't tell you how, my daughter did it for me, but you could put some pics there.
GOOD LUCK-keep sharing!!
