First Steps

On 8/19/10 I had a meeting with my PCP and from the 2 months I saw her last, I had researched WLS. I always told myself WLS would be a last result, and at that time it was. I asked her about the surgery and she told me it may benefit me but to contact a Bariatric Surgeon

I googled a surgeon in my area and up popped Dr. Cynthia Long. I liked that she did her surgeries at my preferred hospital of choice and she was local to me. She also had great reviews from what I read. I called her office to set up a consultation but was promptly told that I needed to attend a seminar on WLS before a consultation and I thought that was fair.

On 8/25/10 (today) I attended the Seminar held by Dr. Long. I found her seminar to be very informative and she was very up front about how serious all surgeries are. Plenty of questions asked and all were answered professionally. I was very impressed.

Now that the seminar is over, I can't wait these measley 11 hours to call her office and set up a consultation :wub: I am super excited!
