I GOT MY DATE
Today was my appointment to meet the surgeon. So I met the surgeon Dr. Gmora such a nice man gave me my optifast, and a few other prescriptions and my nutrition class date July 21st. So I have to say I left feeling pretty good. To my surprise when I got home I had a message from Krista with my surgery date...OMG!!! So August 8th it is....I think I am still in shock. My new life begins August 8th.
Dr. Gmora is another Bariatric surgeon in the hospital he told me there are 3 now in Hamilton him, Dr. Hong, and Dr. Anvari. Even though I seen him it doesn't guarantee he is my surgeon but he said they are trying to change that if they can. He use to work in New York where they have the same process as Canada the hoops, test, etc but is now working in Hamiton. He is a great guy for anyone who has to go see him. Very friendly, informative and easy to talk to I felt like I knew him for years.
When I had my surgery class this past Monday, they mentioned that Dr Gmora started work that very day. My understanding was that he had to do 100 surgeries with another Dr. before he was able to operate on his own. So if I understand correctly, it'll be Dr. Gmora along with either Anvari or Hong. That's what I'm expecting for my surgery on the 22nd. But then again, you just never know! Was he doing gbp in Hamilton and is therefore coming in with experience?
