 Hubby and I met with Dr. Broussard yesterday, and are now officially on our journey.  We do the nutrition, exercise and psych on Oct 13th, and will be attending a support group meeting that night also.   So we've got a month to get our labs, sleep studies and ekg's done.  Easy Peasy!   I am SO nervous, I keep wondering what am I getting myself into?   Our Pt advocate is Tina, and she was super nice and comforting.  Dr. B is straight forward and was honest with hubby about his Crohn's disease and wants him to get clearance from a gastro doctor first, so his surgery is still a maybe, but he is still going to go thru everything to prepare for it, then for some reason if the gastro says it's not a good idea he will do the medical weight loss program.

Congratulation, Dr B is the best and he will make sure you are both 100% safe and ready before he does surgery.  That's one of the things I admire about him most.  He shoots you straight.  You're off on a really exciting journey now!!

I'll be at the support group that night to hear Dr. Sawan speak so I'm sure it'll be a crazy full one! Best of luck to you and your hubby! I'm SO excited for you!
