Don't know about Dr. G.....the rollercoaster ride is just beginning though. Try to take it for what it is-excitement and thrilling new adventures-excitement and even a bit of fear isn't a bad thing at all. Once over eating is not a possibility, learning to handle things like emotion (both good and bad) without food is a challenge. It really helps just to be aware that that is what's going on.
I will have to say that the emotions are completely haywire with me....for what ever reason, probably stress since I go to school full time, have 3 kids (ages 3, 8, and 19), married to the military and just started a job at night working 40 hours a week...but dont really know what the reason is...lol...but as I was saying, for what ever reason I just went nuts at my husband and to put it simpler, I had to go the next day to the store and buy new plates since I didnt have any left. He just kind of stood there and looked at me trying to figure out what was possessing me at that moment. I actually felt bad for him later because I dont even remember what the issue was about in the first place. I havent lost it like that in such a long time and I just felt helpless (if that is even the right word for it). My husband is such a calm person and he just didnt understand....I didnt either. Most of the time I am in a great mood but when I am not then I feel really down....thankfully it isnt very often. I imagine that with the rapid weightloss, lack of all the vitamins and such really does a toll on your hormones too...I guess that is why they have anti depressants...lol
Dont let it get you down...
As for your doc, I dont know who he is but all my doc did at the preop was to do a UA to make sure I stayed quit on the smoking...other than that the preop at the hospital was just the bloodwork and such....
Good luck on your surgery....
If I'm not mistaken, this is your official "pre-surgical consult". This is where you must have your support person with you or he'll cancel your appointment. From what I remember, he goes into details about your surgery, makes sure you understand post-op procedures, and verifies that your support person knows about the life-altering decision you've just made and will be there to support you from here on.
I recommend making a list of questions. This will be the time that he gives you a good opportunity to ask all the unknowns. He really makes sure that when you leave his office, you have a very thorough understanding of what's about to happen.
Chin up, girl. This is YOUR time.
