Default Approved & Scheduled for Oct. 20th

Yippee!

Lisa called me today to let me know that I have been approved for WLS, date will be Friday, Oct. 20th at Sharp Memorial.


Any Sharp Memorial patients out there who will share their experience with me?

Oh, by the way, she also told me that my bloodwork was positive for H. Pylori, some wierd bacteria, so I get to be on 2 different antibiotics & an antacid for 2 weeks prior to surgery. Oh well, whatever works.

I am soooo happy! Thanks for your support, and sharing.

Wow Ann big congrats. Your on your way. I am a Sharp Memorial Loser. My surgeon was doctor Mueller. Have we seen eachother at any of the support groups? Wow less then a month away. My experience was great. The best part Dr. Mueller likes for his patients to have a room all to their selfs. The meds were great the nurses were wonderful and my recovery went great. Keep up with your antibiotics.
