Here in Albany our local public tranportation has something called the STAR Program. It's a really small *Accessible* bus that picks you up at your home with an advance notification. So like you can't call them like a taxi but you can reserve them up to 14 days before you need them. And it is under $3 each way. I don't know exactly where you live but if you look up "Para-transit service" for your area you might find a service at a very resonable price.

Congrats on getting your surgery date. You must be excited. Chiming in from Upstate NY here also.

I haven't seen my Nut yet so maybe this will be cover, but................ I have seen no one mention Medifast. I have about two weeks left of my supply from my last failed diet. Is it useable or is there something wrong with it? I figured I could use it up during the liquid phase.

Can anyone tell me what I can expect at the appointment with the nutritionist?

I have been lurking for a few months now. It took over two months since the seminar to get my first appointment with Dr Trivedi at St Peter's Hospital in Albany. I'm glad I was able to call all the other specialists and get my other appoinments lined up within the following weeks (Psych, nutrition, and cardio). I am very excited about this but apprehensive at the same time. I know folks who have been very successful with different surgeries but I also know people who were not. I know one Lap-band users who has not lost anything and another Roux-en-Y who passed four months after surgery. I hope to learn lots from the many folks on here and to be successful along with them. Fingers crossed, Melissa A.K.A. WildGrits
