LadiSani 59 Posted August 12, 2015 Had my first appointment today with Dr. Carlton at the Nicholson Clinic. Lived the staff and the doctor. I had even lost 4 pounds since last seeing my PCP at the end of June. Now the waiting begins to see if insurance will approve it begins. So excited Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JupiterinVirgo 846 Posted August 13, 2015 I had my first appointment on 8/11/2015. It went much better than I thought it would. I met some post-op bariatric patients who were very happy with their choices to get the surgery. One woman had already lost 240 pounts in just over a year! The other, had her surgery in May, and is already down 48 pounds. When I asked for their advice, one told me the hardest part was the two-week fast before surgery. She said, "You're going to be so hungry, and so angry, so don't ait to start modifying your diet!" I was also able to get all my pre-op testing done in the hospital that same day, which was a huge blessing! Good luck on this life-changing journey. Personally, even though I know it's going to be challenging, I am so excited! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
