A little update!

I ordered the book that I heard mentioned somewhere in the forum...WLS for Dummies. I haven't had time to start reading it yet. I also made a reservation for the information class on 1/24/07 with Dr. Von Rueden. So...I feel like I am finally going forward in this journey of WLS. Thanks...Gail

Hi Gail - Good for you for doing your homework - that's the most important pre-op step and will be helpful post-op, too. I'm a DVR devotee, so I'm convinced you can't go wrong with him. Please feel free to post if I can answer any questions. Good luck on your journey, Teresa (Tia)

Welcome. I'm sure you will soon be hailing the skills of DVR. Your journey will soon begin. Aime

Hi Gail Best wishes as your WLS journey continues. Hugs, Mo

Hi Gail and welcome to the MD boards. There is a lot of useful info on here and each one of us is useful info too. So don't hesitate to ask. I read the book Wls for dummies and it is a very good book. Good luck on your wls journey Take care Kelly

Hi Gail, I am going to look for that book so I can read it too. Good luck with your journey and Dr. Von Rueden is going to be my surgeon too. I really liked him and Dr. Moein they are two wonderful doctors. Take care and keep us posted how it goes for you. Cira

WTG Gail! Keep your goal in sight, and don't stress about the little things. Stay organized and get every name of every individual who you speak with. That alone will save tons of hassle as your enter the insurance arena. Best of luc****ep us updated. TraciL
