lyndynojo 140 Posted June 2, 2011 Hey everyone, well I have my first appointment with my surgeon today and I am getting pretty nervous. He is an excellent surgeon but he hasn't done very many sleeves (under 20). I don't think many surgeons in my area have. I know that all of the docs have to start somewhere but still..... maybe it's just nerves in general and this is my excuse. I don't know. anyway thanks for listening Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarsar 824 Posted June 3, 2011 How was your appointment? Were your nerves calmed after talking to the surgeon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lyndynojo 140 Posted June 3, 2011 Sarsar thank you for asking. My appt went great. He spend an hour and fourty five minutes explaining everything. I didn't even have questions to ask when he was through. lol. I think I'm in good hands. My surgery date is June 24th and I can't wait. I am starting the low fat preop diet and then 7 days before surgery the liquid diet. I can't wait to be on the other side and start my new life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keepaloozen 0 Posted June 4, 2011 My doctor hadn't perfomed many band to sleeve procedures. I spoke to him at length, and checked out his credentials. He had a great background, and I decided that I would place my trust in his abilities. It's been 5 weeks postop and I'm doing great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
