First Appointment With Surgeron

On this morning, I had my first appointment with Dr. A. Cribbins. The staff was exceptional and made me feel real comfortable. Upon seeing Dr. Cribbins, I was informed I weighted 260 pounds at my height of 5'4" and indeed morbid obese. For a second my heart drop, but I knew my main reason for starting this process. The best news of all was that due to my prior supervised medical weight lost, that I wouldn't have to wait the six months. So I was overly excited from that point. Dr. Cribbins came in and provided a very detailed explanation of everything and even answered my 15 questions which so much detail.

 

Today really showed me that after years of dropping this weight, that i am finally make a right decision for me and my family.

Thank you very much. Right now I am just waiting for my PCP to send over where I was on Adipex for a year from 2009 to 2010 and I hope this will help tremendously. I am a little nervous but know this is the best thing for my life. My surgeon wants me to drop 84 pounds which I am perfectly fine with. It is just my prayer that i have the surgery before June since I have a huge vacation in July.

You ladies are such inspiration to me. Right now I am just waiting to get the letter from my PCP that stated my year on Adipex and hope once the surgeon submits it that it will be approved by Tricare. The great part is that my hubby will be don't the procedure as well once he completes his six month WLS. So, we are both making a decision to do this. But I personally thank you!
