It has been awhile since I updated so thought I would bring you up to speed. I saw my surgeon on February 28,2007 and it went great. He talked about my history and what course I should take. He said that he wanted me to lose 25#. At my HMO they require you to lose 10% of your weight before they do surgery on you. He said everything looked good to go. I took along a list of questions for him and he answered all of them. First time in a Doctor's office that I did not feel like I was being rushed out. He sat there and listen to all of my concerns and answered all of them. He wondered why my husband did not come with me and said he likes to me his patience spouses. So he said to bring him next time. Once I reach his 10% goal for me they will set up an appointment with the Case Manager and she will go over alot with me. She will send me to get all my last minute labs and anything I might need. She also will send me to two classes. Pre-op Nutrition and Pre-op Teach. This class is a preparation class for surgery. They explain how the operation will go and take you to the operating room so you can see everything. After leaving the Doctor I was figuring my 10% and I think I need to lose more than 25#.
