1/17/12 Appointment #1

Jan 19, 2012

 Okay so I went to the first appointment and met Dr. Dyslin and my first impression of him, honestly was, he is SO tall. LOL My next impression was how nice and kind he was and how very thorough he was telling me about the process and the procedure. 
The next thing that I was amazed by was the Tanaka (sp) scale ( you get barefoot and step on this scale) and how accurate and detailed that was. 
I will say that in this appointment, I have never felt this self conscious about my weight before now. Even the nurses all were uber skinny and it seemed like I was the biggest person there. I'm tired of having this feeling every time I go somewhere.

Other than that, he gave me a big notebook full of EVERYTHING you need to know about the next few months, pre op, post-op, the surgery, psych, nut, and just ALL of it. This made me feel real good.

I kinda wanted my husband there with me at this appointment but I can't explain why, when I was sitting there in front of the doctor, I felt so... naked/embarrassed almost. I don't know why. Maybe I'm glad my hubby couldn't make this appointment. He'll make the next one though. It's on Feb. 14 @1pm so... he'll be with me. LOL

Later that night:

I know I worried the poor CIGNA lady to death tonight and I had her laughin' so hard but I sat on the phone and learned Your Insurance 101. I sat there and asked every silly question and gave every "what if" I could until I understood exactly how my insurance works for me and I'm so glad I did it. Now I'm not worried about anything and will proceed. My next appointment is Feb. 14th... appointment #2 and I'm so excited ya'll! *dances*
