How did you like Rex?

I have now decided to go to to Bariatric Specialists of NC and plan on seeing Dr. Bruce. He is based out of the triangle. I know someone that has seen him and they said he was wonderful to deal with. I have already started stuff for insurance purposes and am hoping to be able to have a surgery date around Feb. If you have anything to add, I appreciate it.
I could post this on the fitness forum but really makes more sense here.
Anyone who works out in Lenoir or Wilkesboro on the daily? I'm in Wilkes 5 days a week after 5 and usually in Lenoir the other times.
Just looking for mutual encouragement that is all.
Can't speak for that area but the folks in Hickory kick butt. Helpful and Dr. Hata, the surgeon I chose is amiable and has great bedside manner.
