Tomorrow is a BIG step for me….
Hi all…
Well tomorrow is my big day….my consultation with the surgeon….it
seems like a really big step for me and for some reason I have fear
at just doing this much….Can’t imagine what it will be the night
before the surgery….I really appreciate all the posting from the
people who have yrs of what I like to consider recovery under their
belt….the things you have shared have given me a more realistic
outlook on what the surgery is all about….it is committment and
dedication and having the guts to look the demon food in the eye and
say no!! I will not give in to you ever again….!!!!!!
I believe God brought me to this place and time in my life and with
his guidance and the support and stories that you all share I hope to
get my life back again….
Thanks for being there and for sharing!!! Wish me luck
tomorrow…maybe I’ll have an idea of when my surgery will be
scheduled…

Dear Janice,
Good Luck
I hope it went well.
I am pre-op and have had my consultation on 12/18.
I live in New York and my surgeon is Dr. Mitchell Roslin.
The consultation went very well.
We sat together where he talked about:
- What is Morbid Obesity
- The different procedures for surgery
- Why this surgery is not "the easy way out"
- How Morbid Obesity is more genetic and NOT about low willpower.
I had questions about mortality, leaks, complications, recuperation,
diet.
He also examined me, took my official weight etc.
he answered everything and I left his office feeling that I had made
the right decision by choosing him.
It was really positive. We set a surgery date for 4/25
I now have to have a psych eval, get together with a nutritionist,
have an upper GI series, EKG, chest X-ray and blood work.
Let me know how it went.
Your friend,
Izy
