Dr. Wright's patients.. help

Hi I am also pre op and Your brother sounds like my brother. He lost over 100 lbs on the atkins. I tried it for a couple of weeks. It was very hard. I am not him. I have different problems than him and I'm doing what I think is best for me. I havent got my date as of yet but Lisa at Dr. Wright's office told me within the next couple of weeks she would work on setting a date for me. I wi**** wouldn't take so long..Hey did anyone have Dr. Wright? I Don't remember him telling me I had to loose weight before the surgery. Does any one know?
