Well, I've waited over a month to see the surgeon. I've done all my pre-op visits with Psychiatrist, Nutrtionist, Exercise Person, Bariatric training, so tomorrow is my appointment with the surgeon.

A bit nervous here. The surgeon did gallbladder surgery on my DH a few years ago, and I even did a test for him on some medicine. But still a bit nervous.

What did your surgeon talk to you about? Think I waited too long to post this, but it seemed so far off, and then WHAM! It's here!

that is a very good question i am seeing my surgeon on tuesday....i also wonder what we will talk about

Well, I try to post tomorrow late evening to let you know how things went for me.

I'm seeing my surgeon tomorrow also. Please post and let me know how it goes. I'm so excited and nervouse. Started the process in December. Thanks. You posted looking for help and instead it seems people are looking to you.

WOW! I really like my Doctor. He is so very kind. He explained how right now my hormones are "deranged" that I would have to starve myself to lose the amount of weight I need. With the band, you are kind of starving, but it's much more comfortable because you feel full.

He had me lie flat on my back to examine the shape of my tummy. He said my shape is easier to do surgery with, because I carry the bulk of my girth (my word,not his) in my lower stomache and hips. Yes, I have lotsa junk in the trunk!

He was very reassuring, and positive. When I asked what my long term goal should be, he said he didn't want me to think in pounds, rather he would like my BMI to be in the 30´s.

So, the next time I see him will be in the surgery holding area! He said he would dictate my visit today, send to the bariatric coordinator tomorrow, and that she should be able to put package in the mail tomorrow!!!!!!! He said they have been receiving replies from the insurance company within one to two weeks!!!!!!!

Yay for you and having such a good appointment!

Thanks for posting about your visit. I have been wondering too. I have my last weigh in next week so I hope to see the surgeon very soon. Good Luck and let us know how everything goes.
