Epiphany

Hi - Hello - Hola - Howdy - Hallo - Konnichi wa - NuqneH? & Arrrrgh!

New to the whole idea of WLS, and especially VSG -- but after much research & upon the advice of my Doctor, believe whole-heartedly that this is the best option for me. I was told 4 weeks ago that I needed total knee replacement surgery (we thought that I'd just been dealing with a knee injury that wasn't healing...!) -- and that my doctor wouldn't perform knee replacement until I'd lost a significant amount of weight. Knee doctor referred me to Dr. Ramiro "Sonny" Cavazos @ The Texas Center for Medical & Surgical Weight Loss.

Had my first appointment with him + Nutritionist & Behavioral Health on 5/26 & am now doing 3 months of medically supervised weight loss as per my insurance company (already down 23 lbs!) & hoping to have a surgery date the end of August / beginning of September 2011. Motivated & very excited!
