Dr. Pace told me to have my BMI below 60. Mine is 58 now.
I don't think you will need to have it at 50. I'm thinking we might
be done right after Christmas because they are calling us in now
to get it all started. If not we could have attended the info. session
they are having in Jan. Reyleen told me that they don't usually do
the info. sessions individually. I didn't ask too many questions on
the phone. But, I guess we will find out what they are up to when
we go in. Good Luck !!! Maybe we will be roomies....

Hi Terrie,
So glad you got your appointment, but from my experience, its going to be a lot longer than an hour. lol
I don't ask many questions when I go or anything, and it still is usually 2 hrs or more. I find there is a lot of waiting between seeing people so just be prepared for that.
Good luck! :)

We will all be on the losers bench soon enough!! So, how did your appointment go Valerie? 
I was there in the office for exactly 2 hours. Talking mostly with Reyleen and Rhoda. Plus, Kim was there from the research survey. I was talking to her for 15 mins. or so.
I saw Dr. Pace for exactly 15 seconds...LOL He came in shook our hands said I see
you are doing great with your dieting keep up the good work. I'll be doing your surgery
in the new year. He wanted me to initial and date my consent form. and he was gone in
a flash. I'm still looking at probably the end of Feb. Rhoda said to start my 2 week liquid
diet right after New years. Then she will give me another appointment to come in with
my journal and we go from there. My BMI is down to 59. He said that he is doing a
couple of people in the 50's range now before Christmas. I think he said one was a
54 BMI. So, that's good news. One of the ladies said that to date he has had one
person that leaked and he had to reopen them. But, other than that the surgeries
have been successful. I did have my hopes up about getting done sooner because
they called me in early. So, as I was talking to Rhoda I had a couple tears rolling for
a second but I'm over it, knowing I only had a couple more months to wait.

Hi there was going to wait around to meet you but my son in law worked from 1am to 7 am and he never had no sleep so I ended up going there to take care of my grandson for him to sleep...
I was there for a couple of hours also..Talked mostly to Rayleen and Rhoda also Kim...
Dr.Pace was like the flash in and out with in a few minutes...lol..shook my hand and gace my shoulder a nudge and said see you in the new year....so far there has been 18 surgeries done ....So i guess you saw the stapler they use,Rayleen had it there to show how its done...
I start my liquid diet the same time and Dr.Pace wants me to do three weeks of it...I have to call Rayleen and tell her when I started so she can get me in for another appointment to go over the journal and see how I am doing...I also have to start to take a viitmints(note to spelling)lol....my b12 is on the low side of normal....My BMI is 57 will have it down some the next time they see me...so we have to wait a littler longer but we will be on the losers bench soon...
I stopped at the bulk barn later this evening and picked up some Whey gourmet in strawberry banana flavor you can mix it with water or milk and one scoop is 21 grams of protien...they also have a protien there just for mixing in your water,its not a shake suppose to help with thirst but gives you extra protien ...I will be picking that up next week and will let you know how it goes...
Well since I am only home now for half hour I am going to have a cup of coffee,seeing as I will be giving it up ...
cya later
