Okay i went on monday up to Frankfurt to see Dr. Weiner. I spent an hour in his waiting room. When it was my turn my appt. was like seriously 10 min. He just asked me which WLS i wanted. I told him the lapband, he said that he liked to do them on higher BMI then mine(what 40 isn't good enough:smile:) But i told him i was sure that this was the right choice for me and so no more was said. He just asked me when i wanted to do it. We settled on June 27th 2008. So it looks like ill be a jazzy june. He also had me lay down and looked at my gallbladder for stones, and checked my kidneys and liver and told me all was good. I check into the hospital on the 26th I will do the rest of the pre op tests like Upper GI,EKG etc. and then stay the night and have the surgery in the morning on the 27th. I will have to stay that night also(*sigh*) But he said as long as everything looked good i could go home Sat. morning. I really did not want to stay so long but its a long drive and the tests take most of the day so i understand, less stress to. My husband is going to drive me up and drop me off, he cannot stay as we have a lil boy and he has to work. But he will come pick me up Sat. morning :thumbup: Well im excited and nervous all at the same time. Its different doing it here in then in the states. They do not speak alot of english in the hospital but im hoping they will do their best to assign me the best english speaking nurses LOL.. Tri care can still deny me, but im thinking in the positive and feel they won't. Well everyone wish me luck, cause im on my way to a new me.:cursing:
