Phone interview with surgeon Dr. Brad Watkins

Had my phone interview today with Dr. Watkins, nurse, counselor and scheduler. I am scheduled for the the gastric plication on September 28, 2011. I have to start my prep pack next week while I am in Cancun. I have been very stressed at work but this decision feels right for me. I will need to do one week of 800 cal per day liquids prior to the surgery. I bought a chewable vitamin. Worried about being able to take my medications after surgery.

On September 20 will have a history and physical done with my primary doctor. Supposed to get height weight and neck size. My husband is coming with me to the surgery and I am glad he has been so supportive!

Dr. Watkin says he advises a week of of work to heal. I am having the surgery on a Wednesday and want to return to work the next Monday.

So successful day!
