I have my pro-op on Wednesday also. Maybe we'll see each other there. I agree with you, Dr. M is soft spoken and he talks a mile a minute! He told me the same thing about walking. He had said that when I went to his seminar in July. I started going to the gym 3-4 days a week back then and I have been keeping it up. Weights and cardio. Hope it helps with the recovery. My surgery date is the 10th. So I'll be coming in when you are going home. There is a seminar on Monday the 7th. Are you going?

Hey Brittany!
Thanks for thinking of me! It went really well. He spent a good amount of time with me. He explained that there was no dictation needed just a recommendation from him, which he said he did recommend the surgery for me. They sent it off Thu. night to be recieved Fri. morning and hopefully I will know for sure early next week. I have my pre-op class this Wednesday and my surgery is still scheduled for Monday the 7th! Everyone was nice enuf and helpful, I found Dr. M to be very soft spoken-it was almost hypnotic LOL I also liked that he said that after surgery walking is not enough, walking is what we do all day everyday and it isn't the kind of exercise that is going to keep the weight off.......I feel like he is going to hold me to this. Obviously it's not working now, I walk 3 miles 3x's a week pushing my 30 lb toddler and a 45 lb stroller up hill on the back 1.5 and I managed to gain 10 lbs in 2 months without changing my eating habits 
(Its all muscle I 'm sure
