Finally got an appointment!
 

After waiting weeks for the referral I called the new doc and got an appointment for 9/17. Can't believe it! Last doc they referred me too was going to have me wait 6 mths just to get an appointment for the informational meeting. This new appointment is with the surg. and his surgical consultant. Have to admit, I'm excited but scared. Have two books from the library on the surg. and this guy does both RNY and Lapband.

Thanks Jiffy for recommending that one site....for the medical board. That's where I found this doc's name. My aunt used to work at the hospital he's out of and one of the anistegiologists there recommended him.

Wow, my first big step!
