I had my second Behavioral and Nutritionist visits yesterday and was signed off as good to go by both.

I met with my surgeon, Dr. Shah, who is awesome, and she concurred.

I meet with my surgeon for the first time on Thursday, and have my second visit with the Behaviorist and NUT. 

So excited for this next step.   I've lost 13 pounds
