Okay.  I may have been wrong.  Not that that happens often, but it does on occasion.  I finally got thru to someone at my new doc's office.  I found out that I won't have to do a 6-month pre-op diet.  Whooo hoo.  I have scheduled my appointment for the psych eval.  Guy sounds about 100 years old.  He is semi-retired and works from his home.  Come in, said the spider to the fly....eeeeek.  He charges $225 payable in cash only.  I think there might be some report fee too.  I don't care.  Medicaid doesn't cover it so I went with the guy closest to home.  Can't wait to get up early Tues. to make it there by 9 am.
I asked the surgeon's office about Medicaid requirements and was told that they really don't have any.  I'm in a good position since I've already done all the pre-op testing.  So, I'll sign some releases and get all my results sent in ASAP.  I see my PCP on Weds. so we are moving right along.  Of course, I have NO idea how long it'll take to actually get an appointment and then to schedule the surgery.  I'm hoping for some time THIS year.  Gotta get S moving on her journey too.

At this point, I don't care if I like the new doc, the nut, the nurses, etc.  I can play the game with anyone.  I want my band!!  Hope the shrink doesn't decide that I need to be institutionalized.  Hello macadamia ranch.  Perish the thought!!  I wogged for an hour today in the pool.  I checked the scale too.  Since starting the journey I've lost 6 pounds.  After the liquid diet I was at 10 but some sneaked/snuck back on.  Indeed.  I'm feeling much more positive now.  The ups and downs these past 2 weeks have made me crazy.
