1st visit

Aug 08, 2012

Went to my primary doctor yesterday and told him I wanted to have weight loss surgery.  He was totally behind the decision and suggested that I look more into the sleeve rather than the bypass.  He also ordered an ultrasound of my gallbladder which is scheduled for Friday.

Had my first visit with the surgeon today.  I was inpressed and glad that I chose him rather than going somewhere else.  He was very easy to talk to and was clear in his descriptions.  He also suggested with my medical history and current weight that the bypass may be a bit too extreme and that the sleeve will work very nicely for me.  He gave me the reassurances that I needed and now onto the next step.

Next Tuesday I have an appointment with the counselor, after which I will be able to get scheduled for surgery. 

Then next Friday I have to meet with the dietician.

I sure hope they can get me scheduled before too long. Super excited!!!
