My consultation with Dr. Keith is tomorrow.  Any ideas of what to expect on my very first visit?  I've completed 1/2 of my req's, so I know I will schedule my Physical and Pulmonary tests.  What else?!

I used Dr. Nelson there at OWLO & my consult consisted of her sternly asking what I expected from the surgery, why I wanted the surgery, & what I had changed about my lifestyle up to that point to support my sucess.  There were a lot of hard questions that i wasn't expecting.  She looked at my stomach, asked about health and surgery history. I then went to the nurse/scheduler and she gave me my book and calendar and started making appt.s  Psych, PT, Nutrionist #1 , diet class, required support group meeting, etc. and then I think I went down for labwork & CXR. I already had my respiratory testing done before this appt. Anyway...good luck I have had a lot of success. All the appt.s are a pain in the butt if you don't live close (I don't) but it is eventually worth it. But don't cancel any appts. if you can keep from it because that will throw off the whole schedule.

Wow, my appointment wasn't anything like that.  Dr. Katsis just talked about the risks and benefits of surgery,  went over the procedures available to me and answered MY questions.
