"I first met the Physician assistant, he was great.
I went to the Lap Band seminar and Dr Powell was there but I did not get to talk to him much.
I went in for my pre-op exam, he did not even listen to my heart or examine me at all.
He asked me some of the routine questions, and when he asked me about my family history I told him my father died of a heart attach as well as my maternal grandfather. I also told him my sister had some kind of heart problem, but I was not sure what. He told me he wanted me to have a stress test. I called the Dr they gave me and it was going to be a 2 day test. I told them I was not going to do this as I did not feel like I had any heart problems. I have to get clearance from my PCP before I can have the surgery.
