I forgot to add my whole process took 4-5 months

My appt is at 2:30 today so you're not too late. Thank you for the information! I hope it does not take 4-5 months til surgery, but it is one of my questions that I'll ask. I met my high deductible already this year so I really need to have the surgery done before the end of the year.

I am 4 weeks out and I had Dr. Pham. You are in good hands he is awesome and so are the ladies in his office. Dr.Pham is very approachable for Q and A. His office does a monthly support group at St. Joes. As for insurance it only took a week for me it was the little stuff that caused some delays but it all panned out. You will only. Be in the hospital overnight and you should be able to drive a week later for school.

I am from Orchard Park and I have my initial consult today with Dr Pham. I am so excited there are WNYers on here! I am new to this whole process. Can any of u please let me know what to expect at this initial consult appt? Also approx how long did it take from consult appt to surgery appt? Is there anything I should or should not say at my appt? My BMI is "only" 36 so I'm praying I will be a candidate for the surgery!! I've tried every diet out there! Thanks so much!
