Happy Thanksgiving! Dr. Oliak is doing my surgery on December 1st. Wish me luck keeping my mind on Monday rather than feasting today!

My entire surgery is out of pocket. My blue Cross wouldn't cover anything unless my BMI was higher and or had a number of health complications. Fortunately for me, but not so fortunate for my savings account, I am chubby but otherwise healthy. :thumbup:

I am scheduled for a 9:00 am surgery. I am very excited. I just worked my last day & don't have to be back to work until early January! I made it through Thanksgiving dinner celebrations without giving in to temptation, but finding the "polite" happy medium & trying most everyone's dishes they worked so hard on. I have been trying to get into to the "eat slowly, chew everything thoroughly" habit & I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. The 1 cup meals are actually going to be fine. I was finished the same time as everyone else & felt perfectly satisfied.
