Well, after viewing EMMI and talking this over with my direct family members, we had the visit with the Physc. doctor. I was scared too death of taking a 485 question test, but really it was not a big deal, and they did not ask some of the questions I thought they would. The doc was "OK" and cleared me and gave me his blessing....YIPPY

Now offf too see the Surgeon. My husband went with me and was and has been very skeptical...but really liked this man. He was very to the point and if you dont work with him, than he cant help you. I realize that this surgery is not a quick fix, and that will help me allot...(I HOPE)

He felt like I was a very good candiadate, and I than had about an hour before I met with the dietician. Now he was awesome......

Realistic, but serious.....strick liquid diet 10 days pre op....but he has me starting on a modifired diet as well now, starting NOW....

Hopefully in a short time we will get insurance approval....and get scheduled...

I am so ready to start getting this off and living better.

I am a little concearned about having to try new things....ok, allot concearned...but I figure if you can only eat a "small" amount, I can at least try it and force myself into a new way of thinking...

:help:

So....now the time is waiting...

My weight on Tuesday of this week at family doc was 323

weight at Surgeon which is what we will count is 318.5
