"8/4 I met Dr. Keshishian Friday evening at a group meeting in Ukiah, CA.
Prior to meeting the doctor, I felt like I trusted him just from reading what people have posted about him. Well, after meeting him Friday evening, I know for sure that I have chosen the right surgeon. He was very thurough in explaining the Duodenal Switch and has a really good sense of humor.
The Delano Regional Medical center has just opened a new wing that is for WLS patients. I have heard nothing but excellent comments on the hospital and the staff. THEY KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF WLS PATIENTS.
I have only 11 more days till my consult. I am so excited!!!
Have consult with Dr. Keshishian Aug. 17th
<P>
8/21 Consult on the 17th went very good. Just a few bumps, but all worked out well. The office staff was very kind. Dee and Dr. K were very nice and took time to listen to my questions, all five pages of them. Now it is up to getting the official insurance ok and then a surgery date. I know, patience, patience.
<P>
9/4 Dee Tinkle called me this morning to give me my surgery date. She was sooo sweet and totaly understood my excitement and rambling off and many, many thank you's.
