My first evaluation appointment with the Bariatric Surgery team will be made after I have completed Steps One through Six. That being said, my first evaluation is tuesday, May 4th. I am very excited.
These evaluations will include time with the Bariatric Surgery Program nurse practitioner and dietitian. At the first visit, on May 4th, prior dieting attempts, as well as dietary and lifestyle changes will be reviewed by the dietitian. My medical and surgical history will be reviewed by the nurse practitioner, and an assessment of the need for any additional testing and evaluations will be made. Their goal is to make my surgery as safe as possible. I will have a brief physicial exam. An assessment will me made as to my readiness to proceed with surgery. Let the countdown begin.
