Consultation At Barix

Oct 28, 2008

So me & BD went to my appt. @ The Barix Clinic in Ypsilanti yesterday, and we had a group session where Dr Andre Nunn explained the differences between Lap Band & Rouen-Y Gastric.
It was quite intresting, a lot of info, and very overwhelming to take in all at once, they did one on one interviews with nurses...She weighed me, and I cant believe that I am 118 pounds overweight, I wanted to crawl into a hole! She was like "Hunnie its ok, Trust me I was 200 pounds overweight before I got my surgery" It was very comforting to not feel judged by some "Skinny" Person who has no idea how it feels to be overweight
Dr. Nunn was very nice, and very calm spoken, he said I was a good candidate and that I am lucky that I only have a few problems due to my weight compared to many of his patients. That the health problems would arise later if I didn't do anything about it...He said that he is going to send a letter to my Physician stating that He thinks I am a good candidate, then to OHIP to approve it...I am hoping by January to have the surgery.
