I am on a bit of a high this evening after an amazing consultation with my preferred surgeon! So many things to be excited about! [emoji4]
-My husband, who initially wasn’t on board with me having WLS, came with me to my appointment and is supporting me and respecting my choice to move forward with surgery ASAP!
-I was thoroughly impressed with the office staff, who were very friendly and efficient, and helped calm my nerves.
-Dr. McCarty answered my million and one questions very patiently, and believes I’m a good candidate for the mini sleeve procedure. I am moving forward with him, and canceling my other scheduled consultation!
-I found out that my maximum out of pocket expenses for the entire WLS journey, including pre-op requirements will be less than $300! (Did a little jig on that one!)
-My pre-op requirements aren’t as extensive as I thought they would be! (GI Test will be scheduled within the next 2 weeks, psych evaluation is scheduled for next Monday, and already had the first of three required visits with the in-house nutritionist today!
The bottom line is that I could be scheduled for surgery as soon as the end of May! So excited!
Interesting discovery...Found out today that after thinking my height was 5’ 6” for my entire adult life, I’m actually only 5’ 5”. ?‍♀️

grats, i hope it all works out for you. The wait can get to some people so a quick turn around is a lot less stressful

I'm glad you're happy about your lost inch. I was 5ft11in at high school graduation and most of my adult life, surprise! , I am now 5ft8in, always joked I had the spine of an osteoporotic mackrel, DANG.!! Now I do! My body may be settling down but my mind isn't.
