Had my Ultrasound this morning. I've been thinking how fast everything is going. They are on number 292 right now and my number is 304. I have four things left on my check list of things to get done before calling the clinic for the return appointment to the surgeon when the psych clinic called to schedule my eval. December 8th! *sigh*... Oh well. All in good time I guess. I'll call on Monday for my other appointments. I am thinking that my surgery probably won't be until Feb-May of 2010...

I mentioned it to the counselor today and she briefly said that she sees very few Gastric Bypass patients any more as most patients are choosing the band or the sleeve. She said it's been...

Today was my psych eval and it went pretty great. The counselor and nutritionist actually have offices in the same office as my future surgeon. I got there a little early and as I was waiting for the counselor, the office mgr came out and asked if anyone was waiting for the nutritionist or needed to see her.
