Consultation with Surgeon scheduled

I have my first consultation with Dr Sonpal at St Vincent's in Cleveland on January 28, 2004. I am so excited about this, but at the same time I am kinda nervous I hope everything goes well ROGER

Roger, I know what you mean, my surgeon's consult. is TOMORROW!!! It is there at St. Vin. too. I don't know what to expect, I hope I have everything I will need. I got a packet from my pcp, but for some reason she doesn't want to commit herself to write a letter to them from me. She is the one who originally suggested it and I was SOOOO Happy! My daughter had the surgery two years ago and has gone from a 24-26 to an 4-5. I also have sent for papers from Phy. weight loss that I went to and I don't know if they will want it. Well, I'll post tomorrow and let ya know what happens. Judy

Roger, Good luck with your consult. My friend Mary Lynne had her surgery done there. She has been doing fabulous. If you have any questions or conerns, feel free to contact me. I too am from Ohio, Cincinnati to be exact. Sandy Pierce www.imnotfatanymore.com [email protected]

have faith, all will be fine-nerves are something you can conquer! Good luck!

Good luck who is your appt. with? I have an appt. on Jan. 30 at st. V. also with Dr. Ben Meir let me know how it goes. I feel the same as you I am excited but also nervous and worried. I guess that comes with this type of major change that we are about to embark on. Good luck. Rynae Dawson Norwalk Ohio
