Congrad's Sonya...I feel the same way about Dr. Cook he is such a wonderful person...Sure makes a difference when you are putting your life in someones hands to feel so assured...I wish you the best in the insurance approval...just another waiting game for the process... Good Luck, Sandy

Thank you Sandra,it does make a big difference if you feel comfortable,and confident with your Dr.,and I am soo glad that my PCP refered me to Dr.Cook!

Good Job Sonya! You will be a loser before you know it!!! Take care, Barbara

Thanks Barbara,I just hate having to wait,I wi**** were a matter of a phone call to the insurance co.,but nothing nowadays is that easy lol, but I'm hanging in there!

The surgery is easy compared to the waiting for insurance approval. Glad you like your surgeon--it's makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks Debbie,I feel the same way,insurance approval is a killer LOL !Dr. Cook is great and of course his staff is too!!

wow! After reading this.. I think to myself... I am not alone! Thanks for asking this question. I can gain, lose, plateau for certain time periods. It seems like the only time I lose weight is at the beginning of the month. Then it is a struggle for the remaining part of the month.

I mesure EVERYTHING!! but I am compulsive however it is amazing howmuch food can "grow" after we stop mesuring things - one ounce of meat is normally equal to your index finger. but cheese is more like a single die I think - I have heard that but I always either mesure mine by the shave on the scale or buy an 8 oz block and cut it evenly as soon as I open it. my nut is adament about mesuring things b/c "dishonesty with ones self will lead to weight gain" you sound like you can eat all kinds of things now - that is way cool.
