for my 3 month chek up, after being 2 hours late (something about emergency surgery, like thats important) He is what I have learned.

In december I was 373, I was 307 the day of my surgery and today I was 249.  I have went from very tight size 46 pants to a loose 38 now, and I buttoned a pair of 34s the other day, went from 5xl shirts to XL/2xl, so we are making progress.

The best part he said I could have a beer now and then, just be careful with it, so I have that going for me.  Onward and upward.  Todd

 Congratulations on your success.  Bariatric surgeons usually do other surgeries and may be needed for emergency surgery or emergency situations.  I have gone a few times to see a primary and had to wait a couple hours.  But, then again, there was an incident where I had a very bad reaction to some medicine and he had to see me for 2 hours.  Just be glad you were not the person needing the special care.

I recently had to see a podiatrist--yep, a foot doctor--and he was running late because of an emergency at a nearby hospital.  His whole waiting room was jammed.  It was one of the few times that I had something else scheduled.  So, I just reschedule.

The Dr being late didn't bother me, just glad he wasn't to late, fairly long drive to reschedule.  I like him more everytime I see him.  Luckily the waiting room wasn't packed.
