I had my seminar tonight and I love the surgeon and his entire practice! He thoroughly explained everything and was very real and truthful.

He went over all 3 procedures but basically said he will probably not be doing anymore lap band surgeries come next year. He actually sees that entire procedure fading out soon.

I asked about a pre op diet and he said he really doesn't require one or require his patients to lose a certain amount of weight prior to surgery. Unless however they are super obese and surgery soul be too risky at their current weight.

I turned in my paperwork and they said I should receive a call in a week or so after they contact my insurance.

I am looking forward to starting this next chapter in my life!

GOOD FOR YOU!!!! The first step is sometimes the most nerve wracking and is definitely the most important. I'm looking forward to seeing you accomplish your goals along your journey!
