HRRH Surgeon Dr.Starr
Okay so I went to see Dr.Starr from HRRH on November 28th/2014. I like him very much he is very kind and funny to boot. Humor is a quality I don't often see in surgeons and I like it :-) He answered all my questions and advise me that he feels I would be most successful with RNY. I hadn't really made up my mind which surgery I preferred anyway so it really wasn't a big concern of mine. He said he would do my surgery the next available date if all my other appointments were finished but unfortunately I still have to see everybody else. SW/Clinic Nurse and Dietitian are on December 15th/2014 and the earliest appt Dr.Glazer had was May26th/2015 ???? Dr.Starr did say that if I was cleared by the SW/Nurse and Dietitian he was sure something could be done to get me in to see Dr.Glazer sooner. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm hopefully that my next round of appointments goes smoothly and that I only have to see them once :-) Onward and Upward as they say. Had to have blood work done they took 12 vials holy vampires lol

hi hon.....glad the meet with Dr. Starr went well......I just love him! I go for my appts this Thursday so I will let you know what happens. I am so frigging nervous though. My appt with Dr. Glazer is February 15 :( which seems so far away, so I can only imagine what you are feeling with May!! They will be able to fit you in somewhere before them for sure! I didn't have to have any bloodwork done when I met Starr.....maybe my family doc had already done them, I mean I feel like I am giving blood all the time.
