How long from the time that you went to your PCP til you heard from the Surgeons office? It has only been 3 days since my visit to my PCP and the referal specialist was out the day I went. So my curiousity is peaked as to the length of time it took for you!!

I had my fifteen month Nut visit/group today.  I have lost more than 60% of my excess body weight since surgery (66% since the two week pre-op diet started) and am 33% fat still. Should be under 30% to be considered healthy for a woman. 

The bad part was that my lack of formal exercise over the Summer really showed as I lost 19 pounds in total since May, and 10 pounds of it was muscle.  That isn't good, although I do still have 137 pounds of muscle mass (but I'm supposed to weigh 125.... hmmmm.....).

Anyway, just thought I would share that you can still lose weigh even this far out.

Oh, then I went out to eat lunch. I didn't want to eat fast food so I found this mexican restaurant that lets you order ala carte. I got a chicken tostada and my whole sit down meal came to $4.19!  The tip was more than my lunch! LOL! It was very good too, and I would definately eat there again.

My PCP said she was going to refer me to EMMC!! I cannot wait to hear the good news that I have been accepted for surgery!! Still keeping my fingers (and now toes) crossed for good luck!

Thank you for your well wishes!

Yea I know who Dr. Loggins is. When I lived up here before I went to him. He would not do my surgery without me loosing 100 lbs first. I knew i couldn't do that so I decided to wait and when I moved to SC I found a great Dr who would do it. I hope that everthing works out for you. My surgery was a year ago yesterday and I would do it over again in a heartbeat. Goodluck!!!!

More successes to come!
