I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A CONSULT

3 weeks will go by fast. From consult to surgery a year. Hmmm.. I guess they quote longest time because if they say sooner and it's not..... yikes!!! Getting accepted as his patient with a BMI over 50 is my next hurdle then I'll press him about time. I still cannot believe I only waited such a short time for an appointment. I'll post what I find for that week

Oh! We don't have the same surgeon. I am going with Dr. Rusnak for a RNY.  Is it a problem for your surgeon to  accept you after BMI of 50? I only waited for 3 months for a consult after waiting for a year and a half for another surgeon. Thank goodness for OH, I found a surgeon with a shorter wait. Talk to you soon!

I've heard he can be really picky about BMI's. I 've been waiting for 2 other surgeons for 1yr aready when I was told about Dr. Tang that he was newer to the office and maybe short wait but then I kept reading it was a long wait so I didn't think more about it.

Does he do RNY? If he does than maybe I should put my name on the wait list. If my other surgeon falls through. What's the info for Dr. Tang?

Yes he does RNY. His info is on the website victoriabariatricsurgery.com . sorry I don't have his info on hand as I'm not at home.

My date was changed...Dr. Tang's assist called says he's in surgery on that day so I've been rescheduled for July 2/09 @ 10:45. This means I"m spending Canada in Victoria, BC. I couldnt think of a better day to go. If I leave early from wpg I'll have few hours to go sightseeing


Later,

Laurie
