This was the day of my initial meeting with the WLS group and Dr. Greene. I was one of about 15 people there wanting to have the surgery done. I swear, I was the last one in the office. They took me back to a room and I know I sat that for an hour before the Dr. Greene came in.

I thought he was arrogant and not overly compassionate. He thought I would be a good candidate for the gastric bypass and not necessarily the lapband.

During this initial meeting, I also met with Mandy, the nutritionist and Laura.

During my weigh in, I was trying to weigh in heavier in the event my insurance would cover me if I were 100 lbs overweight. Didn't happen anyway, oh well.

I weighed in at exactly 255lbs. 36.6 BMI

While waiting in the waiting room I meet Donna. Though I didn't find out her name until later. She finished before me and was waiting for her ride outside when I came out.
