My First Visit with my surgeon...
Today was my consultation visit with the Gastric Bypass surgeon that I have choosen.  I feel that I made a good choice.  I felt totally comfortable with Doctor Cooper.  I heard that he loves outdoor sports and hunting and fishing, so I brought his a bag of goodies from the forest service.  I told him that I wanted him to be my best friend!  He has a warm smile, and easy manner and gave me a lot of confidence in him.  He explained the surgery very thoroughly, and answered all of my many, many questions.  Now, we must see if the insurance will cover this surgery...one thing at a time....now, some pictures of my big day!
We sorta missed a landmark, and the trip took a bit longer than we expected, so we were freaked that we may be late!  John drove FAST!
Ahhhhhhhhhhh...we made it with 4 minutes to spare!  No sweat!  I am totally relieved!
This is my surgeon...Dr. Cooper.  My surgery was done OPEN, but we have since found an even better surgeon who does the RNY Laparoscopically.  He is John's surgeon...recovery is half the time.
