NUTRITION CLASS WHERE???

Hi all, I am supposed to get in one more clinic and a nutrition class before my surgery, which should be very soon. I cannot get ahold of Natalie at the doc's office. Can anybody tell me WHERE the class is going to take place tomorrow (Sept. 1) and the time??? It would be great to know, otherwise, I'm going to have to put it off. Thanks for any info. The office girls could not tell me.

OOPS!! Sorry, I'm still tired. I'm one of Dr. Scott's patients in Columbia. There, does that help? The seminar I attended on the 17th was at Regional on Keene St. Is it at the same place??

Hey Kelly Im one of Doc Scott's patient too... remember today is Wednesday and Natalie is at the hospital with the folks that just had surgery. I know it's usually an all day affair for her. So maybe that's why she isnt responding. She's so wonderful in being prompt about answering that I doubt she's ignoring you. Too nice of a lady to do that! But maybe if you called over to Regional and talk to the info/customer service desk they might be able to check up on it for you. At least if the Bariatric's dept "booked" a conference room. Just a suggestion.... Take care and hope that you don't have to put anything off! Good Luck Ardie

Hi there Ardie, Thanks for the suggestion. Think I'll call them here in a bit. Hope they can tell me. I am TERRIBLE at big city driving and coming from a town of nearly 5,000, Columbia is a big city! Makes me nervous as a cat. I didn't know what Natalie's schedule was like today. I heard she had a seminar, but that was all. I know she is a super nice lady, I didn't think she was ignoring me. I just feel bad, because it seems like I'm calling them on an almost daily basis bugging them about something or another and I know they are SO busy!!! I'd called her a couple of times yesterday, no luck. Then I had to run to Wal-Mart and missed her call. She wanted to do some scheduling.*sob* I'll catch her yet!LOL I read your profile. You are doing an AWESOME job losing the weight!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! You take care and thanks for the FYI. Kelly

Not a problem Kelly... I've been the neighborhood " Hypochondriac" after surgery. "Natalie are you sure this feeling is normal?!!" She has patiently answered every question and comment I have had. Now that takes great strength of character! Great lady I can't begin to give her the credit or praise she so deserves. But you know they truly want to help and the busy office shows they do care alot. Hang in there you'll connect with Natalie.... Thanks for the compliment Kelly.... It truly has been one heck of a ride on this journey of mine, and really I wouldnt trade it for the world. You are so close to your surgery and I am so happy for you... Just remember that are so worth the effort and all the positive things that come from this wonderful tool in finding the healthier and happier you. I am so looking forward to have you on the loosing side. Grab your life back and have fun with it! You deserve all the wonderful things that are going to be coming your way! Watch for every "wow" moment that comes along you need and deserve those moments of sheer joy and happiness. Embrace them with your whole heart... you'll be glad you did! Take Care and good luck.. let me know when your surgery date is and we'll do a happy dance together! Ardie

Well, I guess the Nutrition class for tomorrow is off. I never found out when and where it was to be held. However, Natalie wrote me and said that she'd call tomorrow. Said that she had me down for clinics and anest. on Sept. 7 and we'll set up my OR appt. YIPPEE!!! I am giggling with excitement and anticipation. What a dork!:D

Hey! I'm glad you and Natalie connected.... Man, now everything is going to go fast! Then again I felt at times it wasnt going fast enough! I'm giggling with you... I am so so excited and happy that your surgery is just around the corner! BRAVO!!!! Ardie
