WOW

I had my phone consult with Dr. Cobourn this afternoon. I had been nervous and excited and wondering most of the day as I waited for his call. When he called he asked how I was doing and I told him that I was nervous and excited, he replied "Well lets see if we can make the nervous go away." What a nice way to start. He answered the questions I could think of to ask and asked me a few more. He was very positive and said that he honestly felt that this was the best way to go and the safest too. That he can see this being a surgury that could be done more than RNY in the near future.

What happened next I didn't expect.....

I will be having my band on May the 30th! I am still blinking and shaking my head...lol I feel so very blessed to be getting in so soon.

WOW... :omg:

It is so exciting. I am very happy for you. Just imagine yourself in May of 08!!! I started feeling skinny when I had only had my surgery. I had to remind myself oh yeah I still have to lose the weight. lol

edie

Good luck...

May the BAND be with you!

:clap2:

Yippe Leslielee!!!

That is exciting. I was also thrilled when I got my date. Dr. Coburn sounds like he gives good phone consult. Very reassuring.

Welcome to the wait (weight) club!

Awesome LeslieLee! I have my first appt on April 12th and am going nuts just waiting. I am really hoping to have my surgery in July/August. I have met almost all of the requirements by my insurance except 5% weight loss before hand and the psych eval which I am sure will be a breeze:faint:

Hearing your news gets me so excited!!! I can't wait:clap2:

Congrats on the Date Leslie. :clap2: Dr. Cobourn is a great surgeon. May will be come and gone in no time.

That is great news!!!

Great news Leslielee. I have my surgery with Dr. Cobourn on May 9. I think he is a really good surgeon. I was also so excited when he gave me my surgery date and I was also very nervous. Suddenly it felt so real. The time will fly for you and before you know it May 30 will be here. I'm so happy for you!

I really noticed the time flew after I started my pre-op diet, which was good.

Congrats on making the first step.

It sounds like you have a very caring doctor. Congrats on your surgery date!

Dr. Coburn sounds like he gives good phone consult.

Oh goodness, that sounds dirty!!!! LOL

Congrats Leslie, I bet you can't wait!!!

-=grabs mind out of the gutter and gives it a shake=-

:heh: You caught me Mandi!

Susan

Oh goodness, that sounds dirty!!!! LOL

Why do you think it costs $200. Still cheaper than phone sex. Not that I would know.....really.

Andrew

LMAO.... what happened to My Oh So Innocent thread!!

-=whispers=- me thinks me is in good company

Is this a porn site? My god you are all very cheeky.

Good luck LeslieLee... I was banded one week ago (Dr Mumford) and was very satisfied with Dr Coburns clinic. Especially Rose as she Rocks.

The new place is very nice at the plastic surgery clinic... I joked that I was really paying $16k for a breast reduction. I woke up one day and had breasts.... not just laying next to me... but my own.

Good Luck
