Ok...I have to say I love my doctor. It's rare that you have a doctor talk to you as an equal. He accepted all the research I have done without question-in fact I think he appreciated it because it made his job much easier I believe. If I estimated the amount of time he spent talking with me I would say between 30-45 minutes. I'm looking at surgery probably in October, but of course it depends on how long it takes my insurance to do the final approval. He did say my insurance & employer were among the best for getting this surgery approved and done in my area.
So I'm even more excited than I was before. It's real now...I'm actually gonna do this. Just kidding. I am so ready to do this & get this weight off and take my place on the loser's bench!!!
