The visit wiht Dr. Robinson went well, I was seen on time and asks alot of questions. Which was good cause you need every detail covered when it comes to surgery. He also told me to lose 25-30 pound before surgery. I am 282 and 5'3. I was 280 I don't know how I gained 2pd I really need to start watching my weight better. He was very nice to me. I feel very comfortable with him as my surgeon.

My upper GI is the 21 and I see the nutritionist later that day. I have a ultersound on the 24. I have to go to my supervised diet program on the 22. Its required for me to do a 6 month supervised diet program for the insurance in order to have the gastric bypass approved. This is my second month 4 more to go. I see my pcp on Jan 11 2007 to get my referral. Then I see Dr. Robinson on Jan 29 2007 at 1:30 to set a date for surgery. I will be finish with my supervised diet program on March 14 2007. Then they will submitt my paper work and wait for the approval. I call ahead of time to make sure that mass health covers it they do. The lady I was talking to told me just submitt all of the requirement and there shouldn't be any problem. I was also talking to some people who have the same insurance and they really never had any problems getting approved am not worried at all. I just want to get the surgery now. Pray for me in hope that every thing goes well.
