Meeting with physcologist 07/01

Meeting with Cardiologist 07/01- can't wait to be finished...

Hey there! I had my 1st consult with Dr. Holover on the 17th. I have my first appointment with the cardiologist today. I'm hoping to get everything done soon but I have Aetna and they require a 6 month physician supervised weight loss regimen :girl_hug:

Oh well...it will be worth it. I just hope it all goes by fast. I'm anxious :girl_hug:

How do you like Dr. Holover? So far he seems cool :rolleyes2:

Hi Amy,

Happy to say that it is now 1 month and 1 week since I had my surgery and I am doing great... I don't know how much I have lost yet, I am waiting for my next appointment with Dr. Holover on the 24th of this month. I know I lost, I can feel it and people have said it.

Keep me informed and all the best.

Hey Jo Ann!

I'm sure you're doing great. Congrats on the surgery. I hope to be where you are very soon. :rolleyes2:

What do you think of Doctor Holover? I'm getting nervous because I haven't read too many positive posts about him and his office staff on the OH Forum. I thought he was great but it's the after care that I read was lacking. I even read something about him cancelling a lot of appointments post surgery.

Any info you can give would be greatly appreciated. I need to know that I am making the right decision as far as he is concerned.

Amy,

I have never had a problem with Dr. Holover or with his office... If anything they have been extremely supportive and helpful.. I would have to say that the only problem I have had is that there is a long wait when you have an appointment but in long run it is totally worth it.

Oh just so you know... Anne at Mercy hospital is wonderful. She is the head of the bariatrics there.

Have you attended any of the support group meetings that are run by Dr. Holover and Dr. Garber? They are the 2nd Tuesday of every month and are very informative. Sometimes wish they were more often.

Hope this helped...

Thanks so much, Jo Ann. I haven't attended any meetings yet. I will be sure to attend as I get closer to having surgery, though :rolleyes2:
