Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 Hi Great step! There are about 12 steps to the whole process. If you can, print out the Patient Manual and alot of your answers are there. Your first visit will probably be at clinic right before your surgery. However, if you call him, he will be glad to chat with you. a tandv@... wrote: > > Hi All, > > I'm very interested in the MGB surgery with Doctor R., I have > not made an appointment with him, I've just studied his web site > and this message board. > > Can anyone tell me what sort of timeline to expect from my very first > visit with Dr. R to a surgery date, (assuming self pay).

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2000 Report Share Posted June 28, 2000 Hi, sorry the chatroom wasn't working last night. I would have loved to chat with you. Most of the time I am positive, but I DO get frustrated in restaurants. I usually don't feel like ordering anything. As far as emotional swings, I do get some, but it is due to circumstances in my home more than from the surgery. I am going to have to go back to work next week on nights and I don't know how my system is going to react to that. I am able to eat more now. That makes me feel better, however, I have to remind myself to eat sometimes because I don't feel like it. I have, however, enjoyed the milestones that have occurred almost weekly. Little things I used to struggle with are coming easier. Clothes that were tight are looser. So, the rewards outweigh the aggrevations. Hope this helps. a tandv@... wrote: > > Hi All, >te? > > Also, most of you seem really positive and happy about your post op, > can anyone tell me the awful stuff that happened to them?
