1st Meeting with Dr. Moazzez

Jul 03, 2010

Hi everyone;

So I had my first meeting with my surgeon, Dr. Moazzez on Thursday, July 1st and I must say he is really nice!!! Extremely nice and pleasant. I was really nervous but I went in and the nurse wieghed me and  I came up to a whooping 256 pounds and I am 5' 5" and my BMI is a 42. I know I dont look it in my pics or in real life but that is just the way I am built...My blood presure isnt high thank goodness. So now I have to take some routine tests like an EKG and chest x-ray as well as blood work.  So I didn't get a date yet but I am hoping, with the way things are moving so fast that maybe I will be able to have the surgery in early to mid August!!!

Next Wednesday I do have an appointment with the nutritionist to talk about good eating habits and past eating habits as well as to come up with a plan to get me on the healthy eating and living track.  Also Dr. Moazzez wants me to lose 10 to 15 pounds in order to shrink the liver so that way it wont get in the way of them cutting the stomach etc.

Well the good thing was that my co-pay was only 30 dollars HEYYYY!!!! I can deal with that!!! I really hope I can get this done and over with because my boyfriend is in the military and he's away right now and he should be back around Christmas time. Boy could you imagine the look on his face about 3 to 4 months out of surgery and I open the door looking like a brand new woman LOL OMG!!! He already knows I am going to have it and is very supportive of it. My best friend is excited for me!!!

Other than that thanks for reading :)
