May the countdown prep begin

First visit with the surgeon this morning.

I hope I can find this place.  UIC.  I have seen it from the freeway.

Randy, use your gps or google it.

Found it.  Appointment went well.  I will not see him again until after my HMO approves it.  I have to get a cardiologist and psychologist to sign off but not my pulminologist and he needs the notes from the dietician/nut, docs and nurse practicianers that have been following my supervised weight loss.

Welcome to the beginning of the biggest ride of your life.

Lisa

Glad you found it. Good for you for getting the ball rolling. Best of luck to you!

Randy, looks like I checked in here one day too late.

I had a Doctor's appointment today too.

I was in there from about 10:30 till around 4:00. I had some stuff come up that I didn't expect, so I was in there alot longer then normal.

I usually go in off of Roosevelt. (Take Damen, or one of the other main roads in off of the interstate.) If you go in off of damen you turn right (East) on Roosevelt. Then turn left (south) on Wood Street and park in the garage there off of Wood St on the Left. (West side of the street)

Take in the parking ticket with you to have it validated. That way you can park for about 7 bucks no matter how long you are there. If you forget it will cost about $12 for 2 hour parking or more for longer.

I was afraid you might have some things come up as fast as you were losing.  I hope you got them sorted out.  I was in and out of there quickly.  I did know to have my parking validated but forgot to do it.  Only 4.75 though and I did not want to make the walk again to try and save.
