Seeing The Surgeon On Wednesday

[Cmasse64 2]

After starting on a bumpy ride, I'm excited about my appointment on Wednesday. I started with one surgeon and I had to pay a huge bill I had from 3 years ago before he would see me. I made payment arrangements but that would have put me into next year to get my surgery so I opted to see a different surgeon. I had to go to his seminar (similar to the other surgeon's but MUCH more informative)and I was glad I did because I think I like him better than the other surgeon! I had already started my 3 month mandatory supervised diet and I see my PCP on Friday. It's been kind of hard to stick to a diet this time and I don't know why...I've done it many, many, many times before. But her expectations are good, she wants me to loose 4 pounds a month which adds up to 1 pound a week which should be doeable. I'll know what this month's numbers are on Friday.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Wednesday that everything looks good and I can continue on my next phase...nutritionist.

On a very interesting (and healthy) note, this surgeon will not do surgery if the patient smokes, the next day I put on a patch and quit smoking. I've tried a few times before and was successful but started up again. I am so determined to get this surgery that I ended up getting rid of a bad habit....pretty good don't you think?
