Scott Fisher, M.D.
I am scheduled to meet with Dr. Fisher on Thursday, November 2. He has performed WLS on three other people where I work so I will see if he does anything like a \"buy 3, get 1 free\" special! LOL, ok, not really, but when I told his coordinator that she laughed and told me I should. We'll see. I've heard wonderful things about him, and from his picture, I like him.rnrnI will add an update after this week.rnrnOK, here it is, January 14 and I haven't updated!rnrnI like Dr. Fisher a lot. He's very down to earth, easy to talk to, answers all your questions, etc. I feel very comfortable and confident with him.rnrnJanuary 31, surgery was January 22. rnrnDr. Fisher came to see me each day after surgery. I felt that I was always in good hands with him.

My New Life Begins January 22, 2007!
posted on 1/14/07 9:58 am
That's my date.  I'm very excited.  I am greatful to have been given a second chance at a "normal" life.

My family is very supportive, my 19 year old daughter gave me a 0 Kohl's gift card for Christmas - I burst into tears when I opened it.  Having her support, and that of my other two kids and hubby is important to me.

I'm also scared...can I do this...what if I can't...will I be hungry...will I puke...will I have regrets???  So many questions.

The support and information on this site is great.  I feel as if I'm as prepared as I can be...the day of surgery I may decide I was totally out of my friggin' mind, but there is no looking back, only ahead.

I've rearranged kitchen cupboards and drawers, splurged on a set ot pewter measuring cups and spoons from Tin Woodsman, have  a huge set of new Pampered Chef Executive cookware on its way here.  I've bought beautiful padded hangers for my clothes that I'm going to grow DOWN into.

I have not told my mom I am doing this because I tried to last May and she didn't catch onto the concept, asking, "will you lose weight just in your stomach?" so I'll just let her see the results when she visits next May.

More to come!
