Oh, ok - I have Dr. Siegal as my physician.  He was OK.

I'm glad you're feeling much better!!  I have an appt. w/ Meghan on Thursday and I'm so nervous.  Well, not nervous .. but... I gained 5 pounds last week.  I am super, super bummed about that. 

UGH !!!!

I was there last night with my hubby. It's good to know about the plastic surgery but that's a few years out. As far as your surgeon, make sure they are real experienced. I have Dr. Kim. Didn't find the best bed side manner but wow, does she know her stuff. If you watch Grey's Anatomy, I would say she is the Christina Yang of the group.

I had my pre-op this morning. Very efficient.

By the way, I couldn't recognize you from your profile picture.

I won't be there next month - RNY on 10/12.

Look forward to meeting you all - I was the woman who kept asking "what was your biggest surprise".

Getting nervous about permanent life style changes, but happy for the opportunity to have the surgery.

Stephanie Power took a few mins. worth of questions then turned the mic. over to Dr.Davidson and he did the full hour. I left before the NPO started - kinda didn't want to listen to her... I was hoping to hear from a different surgeon tonight... maybe November! My thoughts exactly about Shah - I'm sure she's very nice and knows her stuff but uhmm... I don't know that she's the one for me!  

Dr. Snydman is a staff "Physician" Dr. Greenberg suggested I meet with her since my procedure is a revision and I expressed some concern about my existing anantomy since having my band out ( I had a partial gastrectomy when my band was removed) so my new RNY pouch will be a skootch different fromthe straight forward RNY.  I think I may have to have the upper GI and some other images prior to my surgery so they know what the they're getting into once I'm laying on the table.

:-( Ive been feeling so crummy - and was worried I'd still be sick and have to reschedule my appointments this week - I'm all about keeping my germs to myself!!!! But I've been feeling so much better lately!

Oh and I've lost like 8lbs so I'm kinda looking forware to getting on the scale LOL!!!

Hmm, never even heard of Dr. Snydman - he must be new??

I simply CANNOT stand Dr. Shah - ugh.  She annoys the hell out of me; I don't like the way she answers questions and speaks to patients.  The HOWL seminar she did before the one I met you at, CJ - she was so condescending to some patients.  Really rubbed me the wrong way.

I looooove Meghan!  I see her on Thursday!

Oh Kate! I kept an eye out for ya - even sat where you normally sit.
This week was a full hour of plastic surgery with Dr.Christopher Davidson.
Being Pre-Op, I sorta wish I didn't see those before and after pictures even though I know it's inevitable!

Ahhh well... a few appointments for me on Wednesday - then Immersion in a few weeks!!!!

Maybe see ya in October!
