Obesity surgery

I had my consult with Dr. Anthone at USC on
August 27th. He said it would take 3 months to get
insurance approval and do the work up and schedual the
surgery date. He also said that I was not a candidate to
have it lap. He said my abdomin was already tight due
to all my fat being there. Has anyone else been told
this? I felt he was a little defensive when I asked why
he didn’t do the lap procedure. I do hope that the
insurance will work out. I also was wondering how big the
incision is. Dr. Anthone dose the Gastric bypass Duodenal
switch. Well, I will keep you posted. I also want to wish
those the best that are schedualed for wls this month.
May God guide you along a path of
success.<br><br>Dottie<br>Pre-op
