Guest guest Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 Hello. I am Polly. I am learning about the weight loss surgeries and I really feel that the DS is the one for me. I have gained so much insight from this group I thought I would post a few questions here. First I am going to see Dr. Hess in Bowling Green, Ohio I have a date for Nov. 1.2001 for consult. I have medical Mutual of Ohio Insurance. I am hoping to get over to the meeting at the Wood County Hospital on the 8 Th. of October . My question are simple, what do I need from my PCP (as in letters I hear spoke of) I have a history of weight problems all my life, yet no MAJOR troubles like blood pressure or diabetes. I am being tested for sleep apnea on the 18 of October. I am 5'10 " and weigh 322 pounds I believe my BMI is 46 or 47. I just want to be prepared the best I can be. I am asking those who have gone before me how best to prepare myself. Also what are distal and proximal (?) not knowing if I spelled that right. Thanks for all the great support gang!
