Really that is the biggest one,,, it's sort of very controversial,,,,,uuuuggggghhhhh what do I do???

Excellent news, Lokiluvr. Good to hear that you're on the road to Lapland. Believe me, Dr. Haag is very easygoing, and you need not be concerned about him "not liking you." Your meeting with him is primarily a medical appointment to determine if you are physically a candidate for the surgery. In-depth questions about your motivation, your resolve, etc., come later, in the meetings with the psychologist and the nutritionist.

Also, if you don't feel comfortable telling Dr. Haag where you work, then don't. (Although I can't imagine that it would even come up in conversation.)

I was thinking it may,,, due to the nature of my job, I would need to be out of work until I was fully healed.

By "fully healed" do you mean healed enough to return to work, which is usually just a few days, certainly not more than a week. Or do you mean healed inside so that you're no longer doing a liquid or mushies diet?

Thanks so much every one for your support, all went really well at the appointment. I did find out, though, that my ins. will not pay for the dietition (SP?) anyone have any idea what that will run? Or how many visits I'll need to do?

BLUEHILL- Thanks for letting me bend your ear
