Yay!!!!! Got my consult date!!!!

Okay so I go in for my consult with Dr. Kam - he's been in this area for only a year and a half but has over 800 bypasses and sleeves overall in his career - he started as a trauma surgeon so he's good with the staples and such haha :thumbup: He has a thorough understanding of the liver as well - which is great for me considering the Wilson's disease. I'm quite excited :sad:

I meet with him on the 21st of this month - and hopefully will be for surgery shortly thereafter :glare:

Fantastic...I wish you all the best! Sounds like a good choice for a surgeon! Trauma means he can handle qanything that comes along so your surgery will be nice and boring for him! I'll be thinking of you on the 21st!! Cali

That's what I was thinking - and he's obviously very experienced in things like resections, **ectomies, and wound suture and stapling before he even got involved in bariatrics. I really think I have an excellent opportunity here :wink:

Congrats, Dr. Kam is my surgeon also. I am scheduled for July 2. I was initially scheduled for May 11 but had to have an emergency appendectomy last week so I had to change my date. Good luck!
