Consult was Today

Hi all, well I went to my consult today at peachtree bariatrics. I will say that are definately unorganized, but I was pleased. I have to lose 10 lbs. prior to surgery and the their scale goal for me was 141, which is fine with mebecause I I set 150ish as my goal.That would be 100.5 lb loss as I'm only 241.5 by their scales. My clearances are, pysc.Nutitional, Medical letter from PCP and EKG (Pre-op), other than attending the complications class and 1 support group meeting, I'm good to go. I love Dr. Fields she is really nice, but she through me for a loop when she came in the room and said you gotta lose 50 lbs, my eyes got big and she smiled and said no only 10. They said I could use my pysc. dr, which is good because I already have an appt with him on July 29th, so tomorrow I will be scheduling nutrition and getting medical approval from PCP, oh and starting a diet, lol. Thank you all for being here for me as I start my journey. Now it's off for a nap, I've been up since 4:45 a.m. and I'm about to fall out. Melissa

Melissa that is great news 10lbs wow. Now i am nervous to see them been gaining weight and well they may say i need to loose 60lbs before i can get it done. Maybe i will not have so much stuff to do. Don't worry you will make it and be on the other side before you can blink an eye.

You are blessed that you will be able to use your psych. doctor. It took me many phone calls to find someone in my area, and I wasn't that impressed with her, maybe because I had to tell her too much. Only ten pounds...Yay for you! I know you can do it! Hugs, Becky
