Title: Yay i Set my Date for Surgery
Post by: paulault55 on June 12, 2010, 11:57:05 PM
I do not post much but this was too important not to let everyone know.

I had a consult Thursday with Dr. Christine Mcginn, it went great, i need to lose 50 - 60 pounds in 11 months 3 weeks and 5 days, something i can easily do, i could not set the date as Sara her office manager was out for a funeral.

I called Friday and talked to Sara and we discussed dates, she does surgery on Mondays and April 4 my birthday next year is on a Monday, but the date was not available, so i selected May 9 2011 and paid my deposit, i should get a packet in the mail next week, now hoping my stress test, blood work and chest x-ray are ok.
