Flying to Chicago for first appt.

I am flying to Chicago tomorrow for my first appointment at the Wish Center. Kind of nervous.

Relax, Chris (your doctor) and the rest of the staff will put you completely at ease. They are there to help you get to your goal of having surgery. If you have any questions about the program feel free to e-mail me. I am 30 months out from surgery with WISH.

What a horrible beginning to a day. My car broke down and I missed my 6am flight to Chicago. My appt was at 9am. I couldn't catch another plane till 9am so I didn't get to the Wish Center until 11:30. The staff at Wish were so nice about it. I was freaking out because I've never missed a flight in my life. I was worried they would tell me not to bother but they totally accomodated my lateness. It started out crappy but everything ended up great. Dr. Salvino was very nice and I'm probably having the lapband in January.

yah!!!! good for you. Of course it is natural to be nervous, your whole life is about to change and even good change can be stressful!!! good luck and keep us posted on how it goes!
