What a Breeze

OK I got there in plenty of time. I was told that I would have to probably wait over an 1or2 of my appt time. Well it was 1.5 hrs over. I took my daughters nintendo ds to keep me busy. I met very nice people in the lobby. Another Army wife. She was 7 months out and looked great. She showed me her Military ID and DL. She looked totally different. We all talked. Dr. Warnock is right baratric paitents do become like family. So it was my turn. First place I had to go was the scale. I jumped right on. I weighed 227. That makes my BMI 40.1. Now that is calling it close. The they checked my blood pressure which was high, even on meds. Then she told me that Dr. Warnock would be n shortly. I waited about 5 minutes. He is very soft spoken like everyone says. He went over alot. I asked a couple of questions and then he took me to the lady that puts in the referral. She said that she would put it in the first of next week.  Ok my nerves in check now, but now I am excited...

Glad it was a good visit!  Welcome.

Wow, you are officially on your way now! Congrats! Tonja

Congrats! Hope it moves swiftly for you.

Wow sounds like it went well, I envy you.. I am still trying to get my stuff together for my consult.

I'm with Sherrie...  I still have yet to meet my surgeon other than in the group setting at the informational meeting. I hope to see him in January though.  I followed up and they have everything they need (even my 5 year med history) except the test results that I'm currently getting done. Cardio, sleep, pulmonary, and psych.

I am so glad that you had a good visit.  I had early appts each time I went, but had to wait too.  He does all his surgeries early and then appts in the afternoon.  So my way of looking at it was, I sure don't want to have him rush through my insides, so waiting a little is just ok with me.  Especially if you are already aware of his busy schedule.  I have met very nice people in the waiting room each time that I have gone. I have looked forward to each visit knowing I will get to hear someones journey or share with others.  Usually the waiting room is full by the time you go back and the whole room is actually having one conversation.  All these people that have never met but can understand and feel what you are going through.  I would definately never go when you are in a time crunch though.  I had my date only 9 days after my first appt, so be prepared for a fast return.

Yes that is exactly what happened. The lady even unzpped her pants and showed me her scar...
