The Journey Has Begun

Feb 18, 2010

I have visited with my surgeon this week, Dr. Kowalski from KC Bariatric Center.  The visit went very well even though I was nervous.  I was so worried that I would feel like I just entered an assembly line of people wanting the same goal.  After first arriving, filing out additional paperwork, they asked me for my Non-Refundable $500 program fee.  Was this just a way for them to make money and do they really care about the patients? 

After meeting Dr. Kowalski and Jan, my case manager, I felt much more relaxed.  Could I really lose weight and look like the people I am so envious of? 

I have appointments now with my Dietician, Psych, EGD is scheduled, and met with my Cardiologist today.  My cardiologist was very encouraged that I was going down this path.  But when I mentioned doing the gastric sleeve vs lap band, he was concerned as this was a permanent thing and no going back.  Am I doing the right thing?
