First Meeting-Seminar-Appointment

[ThinWithin 0]

I went to my first meeting tonight w/Dr. Wallace in Milwaukee. It was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO very long. We got there at 145 (after an hour and 30 minute drive) and didnt leave until after 6 to make the trek back home. I expected more, it was very basic and the information that was shared was more in the vein of "is wls right for you" not how to go about taking the steps to begin the process. My insurance required the seminar before you are allowed to meet one on one with the surgeon and begin the real stuff. The surgeon himself was kind and well spoken, he had a way about him that was soothing and serious. He told about his stats and how he is slower than his peers but also has the lowest rate of infection and complications. I am very impressed with him thus far and look forward to my appointment with him on Monday. From what I gather I will have an appt w/him and then another one w/the insurance liason to make sure that I have everything that tricare needs. *fingers crossed* hope it all is smooth sailing from here!!
