I went for my consultation with my surgeon Dr. Gary Korus at Penn Medicine in Philadelphia Pennsylvania went ok here are some stats about me:

22

Female

Height: 5ft 9 inches

Weight:325.8

The appointment consisted of a medical history, I got my height and weight taken, I met with the nurse practitioner, then the dietitian and she gave me a booklet about how to measure food intake and how much Protein and Fiber is a good amount to eat. I also got some of my tests done today I got my lab work done, an ekg done, and a xray of my chest done. I have to get sn ultrasound of my veins in my legs on May 4th. My psychological appointment has already been scheduled for July 20th. . now all I have to do is a sleep study and a abdominal ultrasound and do the last two weight management classes and I should be all set my surgeon told me that if I get all my testing done I should be getting surgery in the beginning of August CAN'T WAIT

Congratulations! I'm curious, do they do the ultrasound on your legs to look for potential blood clots? Pulmonary embolism scares me more than the actual surgery . . .

Yes I have both varicose and spider veins so I'm at a high risk for developing blood clots
