Consult with Dr. Shayani done.So far,so good

Hey OH friends.I went to Dr.Shayani`s Seminar April 10th and it was great!!! Had my consult with him the very next morning and that went great as well.He gave me all my paper work and said I can get all my before surgery/aproval testing done here in Effingham.I just got back from Chicago last night because we visited my husbands family while we were there.So I`m calling my Dr.in the morning to get an appt.with him to get all these tests started.FOR THOSE OF YOU WONDERING ABOUT SMOKING/DRINKING AND THE LAP BAND PROCEDURE READ MY NEXT POST. I`m getting so excited.Now all I have to do is get all the testing done and get Medicaid`s aproval.Which I called them and asked when I first started this and they said they would aprove weight loss surgery ONLY if it were medically neccesary.I keep thinking.Is this really going to happen???Will this be the one dream that DOES come true???Everything seems to be in order for me to have this done.Ok? so when is the ball going to drop on me?Hopefully it won`t and everything will go over without too many problems poping up .Good luck to all of you And my very best wishes to you all.

Oh,and I forgot.He also said After the surgery I can also get the fills done here in Effingham if my Dr. here can find someone to do it and will take medicaid.

You will be in good hands. I had Dr. Shayani, he is wonderful. Just remember do as he says. Smoking shouldnt be a problem, even though they always tell you that you have to quit. But, drinking may bother you , you arent suppose to drink while you eat, and if you drink , it will just go through as calories and you wont lose the weight. Good Luck

Hey Joannie,I was mainly referring to drinking alcahol.Because My dad puts on a big b-day bash every year and that`s about the only time I do any alcahol drinking.But he did talk about not having anything to drink for about an hour after you eat something.I usually have a drink sitting with my meal but don`t usually drink any of it till I`m done eating.It will be hard not to drink anything for an hour after but it`s something I will have to get used to I guess.But thanks for your reply,and I really do like Dr.Shayani so far.My aunt n law had her lap banding done by him and she says he is very attentive with his patients.
