Surgeon Consultation

By BikiniBodby30

· 563 views

Today I had the consultation with my surgeon, Dr. Gowen Nirmul. He seems friendly enough and took time to answer my questions thoroughly before our 15 minute time slot was up. I was slightly concerned that the team wanted me to start my pre op diet only 2 weeks before surgery since the guidelines I was given indicated 3 weeks for those that were over 50 BMI. Dr. Nirmul assured me that since I was not very far over the 50 point mark, two weeks would be more than sufficient. Whew!

 

True Results gave me plenty more reading material along with my Success Kit. As with before, the team is a wealth of information and ever so patient with the multitude of questions that I ask.

 

Surgery is set for June 21st.

 

Pre Op diet starts June 7th. One more day of 'normal' food before the two weeks of Hell On Earth :P

 

Wish me Luck!

    Good luck with that. Can't say that I'm looking forward to two weeks of preop diet but I am sure looking forward to the operation. So I wish you all the luck in the world!

    OMG, Dr. Nurmil was my surgeon, too. Don't you just love everyone in the office? They are the best!

    I was banded 8/19/2011 and have found it to be most rewarding. I have lost 90 pounds and still have another 50 to go to reach my goal.

    Best of luck..
