New to.. everything!

Hi there! Just wanted to give a quick hello :) After about a year, I've decided to take the steps to begin the WLS journey. My first appointment is in February and I'm seeing Dr. Bass in Fort Myers. Nervous but super hopeful!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Hi Nicole! We are neighbors - I am down in Naples. I had RNY surgery in 2009 in PA but am transferring my records to Dr. Bass for follow ups. No complications for me and I wish you all the best!

Awesome! Happy to hear you haven't had any problems! :) I was considering sleeve, but the more I read about how it can make an already bad acid reflux problem worse.. well, I think I may be leaning towards RNY now!

Hi Nicole! I'm near Tampa, and also at the beginning of my journey! I have my first appt. with my surgeon later this month. And I feel exactly the same - nervous and excited at the same time!

Nice to meet you! I am so eager to get the first appointment over with haha! I am tempted to call the office and ask if they get any earlier openings if they can change mine lol!

Hi Nicole. I am new to everything also. Had thought about surgery for years and a couple attempts thru my insurance said no. I got the go ahead and had my first consult in Oct. since then it has been setting up numerous appts.with numerous doctors that the surgeon requires such as heart, pulmonary, 6 scheduled visits with my primary Doctor, nutritionist, psych evaluation, gastroentologist and blood work. Thank god I have the 6 month wait to get it all accomplished. At least every time I scratch one off my list I'll be one step closer to my April 20, 2016 surgery date. Best of luck to us both!!
