What a week!!!
As some of you know, Nick has been working on getting gastric bypass surgery for a while now. He was all scheduled for it in Little Rock about a year ago, but his mom got really sick, and he had to help take care of her first.
Albuquerque doesnt have a surgeon who does gastric bypass. Which is weird because Albuquerque is quite a large city. His insurance approves of a few people in El Paso and Lubbock. Nick did his research, and decided on Dr. David Syn in Lubbock.
We met him on Wednesday, and he is just the nicest guy. He is very passionate about what he does. He is very honest about what surgery really is like, and how much work it is, but in a way that is empowering. Before we met him, I had alot of concerns that he elimiated.
Nick's surgery wanted him to do 6 months of doctor supervised dieting before surgery. Dr. Syn doesnt like to wait that long because he has seen too many people diet and gain back the weight in that time, which is a bad idea to do before surgery. Dr. Syn wants Nick to come back surgery in late September or early October! We are just SOOOO excited!
October should be one busy month!!!
