It was pleasant...as pleasant as major surgery gets. The rooms at Legacy Good Sam are really nice and private. My brother said it was more like a Holiday Inn. The nurses and CNAs were awesome. I came in Wednesday morning and left Thursday afternoon.

Dr. Patterson is very efficient. She's not warm and fuzzy, but I prefer a bit of distance. I want a brilliant doctor, not a new BFF.

All in all, nine days out and I'm feeling great. I already went back to work, and I'm seven pounds down.

Surgery is next Wednesday. Started the pre-op diet, getting a bit nervous.

Hi everyone! I'm in Portland and waiting on hearing back from OWLS (sent my new patient application on 11/2 and they said to allow 2-6 wks for insurance verification and scheduling the consult). I have Anthem/Blue Cross Blue Shield and I'm 99% sure I'm covered (my plan covered anything that's considered "medically necessary") but I can't help but worry abt being turned down before I've really even started the process.
