I can't wait! I have to go back to my PCP AGAIN because he won't give me a medical release until he goes over the results of my PAT. Grrrrr...... Some nonsense of "since it's been three months since I gave clearance to the insurance company..." blah-blah-blah. My Lap Band surgeon got the same set of results, and I haven't heard from HIM, which you think I would if there was a problem. UGH!

SO anyway, the 20th is fast approaching! I'm having "Last Suppers" - but not too many! LOL! Saying good-bye to my favorite Indian buffet and Chinese Buffet and champagne and orange soda. :-(

Hello... I am also from NJ, about an hour away from you! I had my surgery on 12/31 and am doing great.

Good luck with your surgery! Stay motivated, you will do fine... the buffets are not your friends, so be happy to say goodbye to them. Doctors can be frustrating, don't let it get you down... just keep bugging them.
