WLS Information Session

Jan 06, 2012

Last night I went to the Oregon Bariatric Center's informaiton session at Sacred Heart Medical Center at Riverbend here in Springfield, OR.  It was like the previous two that I have been to in the past, except for one thing, the doctor did all of the talking.  
It was Dr. Jessica Folek who was talking.  I was really impressed by her.  She did not have the big headedness like the pervious doctors at OBC.  She was able to explain things very clearly and it was great to listen to her.  My first impression is that I liked her.  

I'm really think I'm going to do it this time.  I have the application filled out I just have to do one more day of a diet journal tomorrow and I'll send it in next week and get this process started.  With my insurance (who I called yesterday and they do cover both bypass and lap band) I have to wait at least 6 months from the time I start until I have the surgery, and that is great.  With my work, I could only have the surgery (and not cause problems) in August or December.  So six months would be great and maybe I can make it work for an early August surgery.  

I've only talked with my wife about this, no one else.  I'm not really worried at all what others will say but I don't want my mom to worry about it yet (she will) so I'll wait to tell her and my dad.  

Here we go!
