Just thought I'd update:

I had my assessment today, and it went well. I love the nurse I'll be working with, which is good since I'll be seeing her quite a bit! I scheduled myself for the Psych Test (MMPI) on 9/14, and the next appt is on 10/6, where I go over results of the test and also meet w/the dietician and physical therapist.

Someone is also supposed to contact me about getting in for a sleep study (ugh), and I guess I need more labs done (double ugh).

The only down side, and I'm trying to stay positive, but the nurse said my insurance requires a 6 mo documented WL program w/my doc. I'm kicking myself extra hard right now since I didn't get on the ball sooner and am now possibly looking at January for the actual surgery. Why is it that I was so afraid to go ahead w/this just a few months ago and now I'm impatient as all get out?! Who knows...maybe my high BMI and health issues will put me at the front and I won't have to wait as long.

Thanks for listening
