Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Carole, I had to put on a nie, left my bra and panties on... He basically just felt my stomach and examined my apron. About 2 minutes, if that for the exam part. You should also have time with him in his office where he will go over the surgical procedure with you. This is your opportunity to ask questions so come prepared, I had a list of 25 questions and during our discussion he covered about 1/2 of them. You will also see the shrink and nutritionists as well as watch a video, plan on a couple of hours.. What time is your appointment? I will be there on Wednesday @2:30.

I was wondering what kind of exam he gives you.. Do you have to get undressed and go through a whole physical or is it just checking your heart, blood pressure, etc. I have my first consult on 3/22/01 so I kind of wanted to know what to expect when seeing the Dr. Thanks Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2001 Report Share Posted March 20, 2001 Carole, I am behind in my messages so you may have had several answers by the time you reach mine. For my exam, I was asked to remove my top and they actually gave me a LARGE johnnie to put on. I can't remember if he did blood pressure. What he mainly was interested in in what my abdomen looked like, how many previous surgical scars there were so that he would know about adhesions and perhaps where to stay clear of in his cutting. It was a very quick exam, I got dressed, and that was that. It was not the whole physical as you might get from your interest. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2001 Report Share Posted March 21, 2001 I hope to see you that would be great. You should not have trouble knowing us we are both fat and have dark hair and will be wearing fat pants and tops. If you see someone in a dress you will know it is not one of us. hahahahah!!!!!
