DR.ARANOW PATIENTS: I go to see him for the first time 8-24-04. Is there

My best advice would be to make sure your diet history is as concise and complete as possible. I couldn't remember all the diets that I had been on since I have been dieting for what seems my entire life. So what I did was typed "list of diets" into google and came up with some websites that helped me jog my memory. I then typed up a chronological list of diets. My other advice would be to make as many appts. now with specialists that you might need to go see. I saw you already had an appt. with for a sleep study so you are on the right track. The more you can get done before you have your appointment with him will get you through the "system" faster. The day I decided to go forward with the surgery I made all sorts of appts and tried to be proactive in any way that I could. It's only been 6 months since I started my journey and my surgery is in two weeks and that is pretty quick for surgery with this Dr. Good luck! Your surgery will be here before you know it!!
