Well today is the day when I get to meet the surgeon who is doing my surgery Tuesday. Why they let you weight so long and so close to your surgery date to meet with the actual surgeon I don't know. Made me a little bit nervous, but I do get to meet him today will see how things go. Everyone I've talked to who has had him likes him so that's good. I have a bunch of questions. Hope he does not blow me off. I also get last minute blood work. I don't know what all else they'll do. Does anybody have any suggestions for questions I should ask? I'm a bit nervous I've actually gained weight since I saw them back in October. I did not now about the high protein low carb diet till I read it in the huge booklet they gave me to read over, they never said anything about starting a diet or that my insurance needed me to lose weight or anything, so I hope It wasn't a requirement to lose weight. You think they would have specified that when I was there. So I guess we will just see what happens. Good morning to you all.

I met my surgeon about 1 week out of scheduled surgery for a last minute prep-op checkout. I was informed about 6 weeks prior what was required of me as how much of a weight loss percent I was required to lose prior to the scheduled surgeon visit. We talked about how I will feel and what to do with pain(I had very little) discomfort(in my case). Just a last minute eye to eye checkout.

Best wishes and Keep the Faith.
