Part 1 of 2 Pacific Bariatric appt

Aug 06, 2010

So I am all done with the Kaiser part of the program for surgery. Yesterday I saw 2 doctors out of 3 that Pacific Bariatric schedules pre-surgery. I saw the Psych dr which was about 20 min and she just asked why I wanted to do the surgery, what I expect from the surgery, if I had support after surgery, and about my family life when I was younger. Afterwards she told me that Kaiser patients are very prepared for this part of the process and that she feels like I am ready.
Then I went to the internal medicine dr which took about 10 min, he checked my mouth, ears, heart, lungs, tapped on my stomach asked about medication I am on and gave me another EKG (kaiser had already done one??). He also said I looked fine for surgery and to just work on building up my endurance pre-surgery.
Monday is Dr. Taller.  From what I hear from other people in my class there is about 1 1/2 - 2 month wait to get a surgery date. I am on my way!!!
