"The first time I talked to Dr. Yasrebi, it was a little strange, he called 9pm on a sunday (???) I wasn't home so I used my caller ID and called him back at his home.
At the time he seemed a little angry at me
he then informed me to check my messages and
I would have play phone tag with him tomorrow
( I thought it must have been real important
that he talked to me, since was calling at 9pm on a Sunday from his home)anyway I got a hold of him the next day and told him about my situation and he didn't think I was a good candidate for the surgery but suggested
that I attend the support meeting then we would go from there.
I attend the meeting, and discovered why
he (seemed) strange, his method of pre-op is somewhat demanding, you are required to lose 15% of your body weight if you are over 400lbs (to shrink liver) I weigh 475,(do the math) that's alot. He also went on to explain
how he calls people to find out their desire,
dedication and DISIPLINE to have the surgery.
Anyway I haven't met him one on one yet...
BUT I LIKE HIS STYLE
