I'm back...

Hello Everyone, Hope you are all having a lovely day. I just got back from Chadd's Ford and had my second consultation with a new dr. OMG, I am so glad I decided to wait the extra month to meet this guy. He was so nice and much more personable than the last guy. And, not only that, but he does do laproscopic surgery and he said I was a great candidate. Again the people at Barix made me feel like I was skinny...lol. He kept remarking on how I was going to do great because of my height and weight and he just kept saying that some of the bad statistics were a little lower because I am not that big. I on the other hand, I think I am huge. But, it is nice to go somewhere and feel smaller, even if it is just temporary. He said earliest surgery would be in November but that I should probably be thinking more like Decemeber. I am fine with that because that is what I was already thinking. He did tell me to try hard to lose some weight before the surgery. He said it makes it easier on him and me. I am going to really try. I was embarrassed that I had gained 5 lbs since my last visit in August. I have been eating sugar like I will never get it again...lol. My mentallity has been "I better eat it now, because I won't be able to eat it soon" I need to get a new way of thinking or I will gain 20 more lbs before surgery. Please Help!! Robyn
