My Consult and date!!

[LeslieLee 0]

WOW

I had my phone consult with Dr. Cobourn this afternoon. I had been nervous and excited and wondering most of the day as I waited for his call. When he called he asked how I was doing and I told him that I was nervous and excited, he replied "Well lets see if we can make the nervous go away." What a nice way to start. He answered the questions I could think of to ask and asked me a few more. He was very positive and said that he honestly felt that this was the best way to go and the safest too. That he can see this being a surgury that could be done more than RNY in the near future.

What happened next I didn't expect.....

I will be having my band on May the 30th! I am still blinking and shaking my head...lol I feel so very blessed to be getting in so soon.

WOW... :omg:

It is so exciting. I am very happy for you. Just imagine yourself in May of 08!!! I started feeling skinny when I had only had my surgery. I had to remind myself oh yeah I still have to lose the weight. lol

Awesome LeslieLee! I have my first appt on April 12th and am going nuts just waiting. I am really hoping to have my surgery in July/August. I have met almost all of the requirements by my insurance except 5% weight loss before hand and the psych eval which I am sure will be a breeze:faint:

Hearing your news gets me so excited!!! I can't wait:clap2:

Great news Leslielee. I have my surgery with Dr. Cobourn on May 9. I think he is a really good surgeon. I was also so excited when he gave me my surgery date and I was also very nervous. Suddenly it felt so real. The time will fly for you and before you know it May 30 will be here. I'm so happy for you!

I really noticed the time flew after I started my pre-op diet, which was good.

Congrats on making the first step.
