Had a physical with my PCP in May and asked her about weight loss surgery. She then referred me to Dr. Patrick Chiasson in Tucson, AZ. I went to the Weight Loss seminar the beginning of June. The seminar had alot of useful information. I decided to go with the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. Had my first appointment with my PCP on June 20, 2014 at a HW of 387. I then had month 2 and 3 appointments scheduled. Lost a total of 48 lbs Prediet so far. I also have my Psych eval and Nut Eval. I even had to have a EGD done. That came back normal. My lab work shows i was Vit D deficient. I am now taking Vid D supplements. on Sept. 22, 2014, Dallas, my surgical coordinator put in the request for my VSG surgery. On Friday, Oct 3, 2014, i called my insurance company and they advised me that I was approved for surgery. I have a tentative date of surgery on Nov. 12, 2014. This was the best news I have gotten all week.
