Had my first appointment with the surgeon and it went well. I chose gastric bypass over the sleeve but I can change my mind. I have orders to get labs done, chest X-ray, psych evaluation, and EKG. They will schedule the endoscopy. The place I'm meeting the surgeon at is 2 hours away and where I'll have the surgery is about 3 hours away so I'm on my own finding local services. Luckily I figured out where I can get the labs, X-ray, and ekg done. Now I have to locate a psychologist. I may have found one but have to make an appointment. I still have to lose 5% but we are hoping my dr has records of me with my higher weight. If we can use that then I've already met the 5%. No matter what August is still the earliest I can have the surgery.
