Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi Pam E ! Well I didnt do Richmond so I dont know, but labs are usually done close to surgery and the pre op class i think they would make you take............you can always ask to get into that class asap, so if there were to be a cancellation you would be a ready and prepped candidate. You did awesome on loosing your ten percent, arent you proud of yourself, you seemed worried about it and you are like doing great ! keep us all posted !] Colleengranela52 wrote: Colleen,It's good to hear from you! Thanks for your suggestion. I did call Richmond, and left a message. ( I am not sure who she is) called back later, but I missed her call. She left a message to call her back,and I did, but it was too late, and nobody was there. I'll have to call her back Monday. This process can be nervewracking sometimes. I think I have done everything,but take the Preop class and lab tests. Am I right or not?Pam E.-- In gastric-bypass-support-kaiser-patients , Colleen Garner wrote:> Hi Pam E> > Glad your family vacation went well and that you had a good trip and weight loss when you got home ! i think you should voice your idea about agust and see where it gets you, just the other day a gal got an earlier date due to a cancellation, so dont give up the faith > colleen> > granela52 wrote:> Hi Pam Marsh, and Everyone,> > Wow,Congratulations on your fabulous weight loss!!
