Update on Dr's Appt
Good Morning Everyone:
I think half of the board was on the road yesterday. Wasnt bad going up but coming back I was hurting big time. Checked in early at Dr. Scott's and they sent me down stairs for some bloodwork. The lady that was in labs keeping pulling these vials for the blood. She took out 8 of those things. I asked her if I had that much to share. lol Went back upstairs to wait to see Doc. Had this young student doctor come into the room. And was asking me all these question. He is still learning so it wasnt that bad. You can tell he was kind of nervious. Bless his heart!!! Then Dr. Scott came in and said to me. We have never meet I am Dr. Scott and put his hand out for me to shake. He looked so serious that my heart stopped for a few seconds until he started to smile. Dr. Scott said he is so happy with how well I am doing. I had lost a little over 100lbs in 4 months. Was talking about the difference between now and 4 moths ago. I pulled out a photo that I have on my profile. That was taken a week before surgery. Dr. Scott told me to keep that photo out and he would be right back. A couple of minutes later Dr. Scott & Dr. De La Torra comes back into the room. And Dr. Scott shows him the photo. Come to find out they were both the ones that did my sugery since I had the sleeve done. They were so excited since the sleeve is relativley a new procedure. Told me to keep up with the photo's and what I am doing. Yes, I was glowing by the time I left!!! It is always so good to know that your Dr. is happy with what your doing. Plus every success story is good for him too.
So anyways he is referring me over to one of his assistances Dr. Ramshaw. He also does the WLS but he specializes in Venterical Hernia Repairs. YEA!!!!! They should be calling me for my appointment with Dr. Ramshaw today letting me know when I have to go back up to Columbia. Then Dr. R will schedule the surgery. So yes it is getting taken care of I just dont have a date yet.
Take Care
