"I have not seen the surgen yet but I do know it will be doctor Cook in Hickory NC, I will update when I finally get to see him!rnrnUPDATE: Feb/06/07rnrnI met my surgen for the first time today it was in a group meeting, there he told us how he will be doing the surgery and what all we had to do and exspect to happen, It all sounded good except for the 10 day Slim-Fast diet. For 10 days before the surgery he wants us to have nothing but Slim-Fast, NO food at all!rnThe next time I meet my surgen it will be a one on one just me and him! As for the surgen he acted like he will be a good one and he seems to care about all his patients, a little older of a man than I would want to operate on me but I guess the older the better they are!rnrnFeb/ 16/ 07rnrnThe weight loss clinic called today and told me the surgen was going over my chart and wanted me to start a pre-op diet of one low carb meal aday and slim fast the rest of the day, but they also told me that there was no history in my medical records showing where I have been on a diet for 6 months or more in a row. Well to make the story short I will have to diet 6 months under a doctors care before the surgery now! If I lose 50 pounds or more then why do I need to have the surgery?rnrnMarch 16 2007rnWell I did lose 10 pounds as of today and the weight loss clinic called today and said I was ready to start to the next level so I got a date on April 3rd to go in and do my lab work and see the surgen one last time before my surgery, I hope they will give me a surgery date on the 3rd."
