Hey guys

What happens after the first consult with dr Craig does he send you off to get some test and do you see the psychiatrist and dietician before they give you a surgery date?

Hi there,

Unfortunately i haven't received my surgery date as yet. I have to wait until after I have seen the metabolic clinic at RPA and this is scheduled early Feb.

How about you?

[Mini_Me_23 20]

Goodluck with your appointment Hun

I have my first consult on the 8th of feb and I'm already getting nervous.

After my first consultation with Dr and you've been given the go ahead and your comfortable with your decisions you will need to see the psych and dietician you will also be required to have some bloods taken.

My initial consult was back in November, if your a little sensitive be sure to take some tissues. He tells you like it is and doesn't want to hear any excuses but its really what we all need.

[Mini_Me_23 20]

Omg I'm very sensitive especially when it comes to people mentioning my weight, so thanks for the heads up, ill be sure to take tissues with me lol

And I'm hoping to go into this consult being well prepared I've written down a bunch of questions regarding pre op and post op.

I'm so happy I found this app, I find I'm more aware of what to expect.

Thank you kelly

I haven't been to any of the seminars, but would really like to go. What is the next one and when? I'll make an effort to go to it.

My initial consult was back in November' date=' if your a little sensitive be sure to take some tissues. He tells you like it is and doesn't want to hear any excuses but its really what we all need.[/quote']

Really? I felt that he appreciated that I had done a lot of my own research and really didn't need to know a lot about the procedure, more about himself as a surgeon and the facility for follow up care. I think he appreciates people taking this decision seriously and if you let him know that you've been struggling for a while and aren't doing this on a whim, he will be kind to you.

[Mini_Me_23 20]

I know that there is one today (17 jan) at 6:30pm but you have to call Karen and register. I'll try and find out when the next seminar is and let you guys know
