For -- Re: Looking for feedback on Surgeons at Richmond

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

After I was accepted into Richmond's Bariaatric Program (accepted

into program the same day my PCP sent in the referral then notified

via phone call from the Bariatric Dept 4 days later confirming my

acceptance), I had Orientation 8.5 weeks later. At approx 7 weeks

after acceptance I received a call to schedule Orientation (those 7

weeks seemed like forever!)

Next Steps for me are: Wait for the mandatory Nutrition class to be

scheduled (we were told that this is usually scheduled for approx 4

weeks after Orientation) then approx 2 weeks after the Nutrition

Class I should have a Surgery consult appointment with the surgeon.

I just started the recommended 1200 calorie plan today and now just

patiently waiting for the next two appointment.

I hope this helps!
