Topic: RE: Have my first appt with Dr Spitz on Aug 26th, can anyone tell me what to expect?

HI there,
it went really well, although going in I was pretty sure I wanted the band, leaving Im sure I want the full gastric by-pass :). I am super eexcited and found out Friday that I was approved through my insurance for the bypass. I scheduled my chest x-ray ekg and bloodwork for this week and will find out tomorrow when my surgery will be. YIPPPEEEE. So i have a question...once you knew you were getting the surgery were you eating everything in sight? Why am I doing this, LOL I am miserable....
