Surgeon Testimonial John Touliatos, M.D. So I finally met Dr. Touliatos. He was very nice and didn't make me feel uncomfortable. His office staff is very friendly. I have to drive 3 hours to get to the hospital and was a little bit late and was afraid the staff would give me a hard time about it but they didn't. What I liked the least was that I had to wait 2 and a half hours to see him after my appointment time. He was very clear about the risks of the surgery but I am a low risk candidate so I am not worried about any complications. He even printed out a sheet restating the risks and complications of surgery just to make sure I was aware of them. As I only saw him for about 15 minutes, I don't have much more to add now.

Excited
So last week I had my WLS seminar in Birmingham, a 2 and a half hour drive from Phenix City. I didn't really learn anything. Since my sister has had the surgery, I think I'm pretty educated on the procedure (Lap RnY). I'm not saying I know everything, obviously I don't, but I was a little disappointed in the seminar, especially since it took so long to get there. Those long drives to Birmingham should prove that I'm dedicated and determined to get this surgery. I see my surgeon for the first time on April 7th and the office estimates a surgery date of 6-8 weeks from the first consultation. I hope it's sooner than that. I'm excited about the consultation, though. I don't have to do the 6 month diet so all I need is the psych eval, which is scheduled for the 28th of march, a visit to the pulmonologist, which is scheduled for April 15th, bloodwork, and nutrition class. I hope it goes by fast. 1 Comment(s)
