New Here -Pre Op
Hello everyone. My name is Amber and I am hoping to have the surgery. I am seeing the surgeon (Dr. Pearce), having my psych eval, and some pre op tests done on January 24. That day cannot get here fast enough. I am so preoccupied with this I can't stand it. My husband is having some serious doubts now about me having it and him... While I understand his concerns I need someone to talk to so I am hoping someone can tell me what happens after I have all those tests done? Will it be long before I know something?
Thanks in advance!
Amber
hi Amber,
as far as the waiting game ...i think that depends on your insurance...i had my surgery a year and a hal*****here at Edmond Medical Center. My surgeon was Dr. Floyd...who shares the office with Dr.Pearce. Everyone there in that office is wonderful. The bariatric wing at Edmond Medical Center is great....i received excellent care. If you have any questions feel free to ask....or if you use yahoo messenger you can IM me at audibelle29
good luck,

Hi, Amber! The waiting game is the worst part! I'm in Tulsa, so I don't if we went thru the same tests you did, but boy, there sure seemed to be a lot of them! Just remember, they are giving you all these tests so as to be prepared to give you the best treatment/surgery possible. I don't know your doctor, has he done a lot of surgeries? This surgery has a definite learning curve, the more the doctor has done, the better he gets at it. Keep us updated on things, I'm so excited for you! This is the best decision you could make for yourself, your life is going to change in ways you couldn't imagine. I'm less than a year out, and already so pleased with the results - and it's only going to get better!
*hugs*
