Hang in there Lenny - I think you should sue your ins co for mental anguish

for not letting you know sooner...By the way that song is " Only the Strong

Survive " It doesn't say a single thing about the MO or even the fat

surviving, YOU MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE - I'll be praying..... W

Oh! LennyB,

You are in the roller coster climbing the big hill, Friday you will

reach the top and the downhill ride to thinness will begin.

Visualize your dream, see yourself normal sized and actively

participating in [Fill in your favorite activity here] after you are

done with all the fun, see yourself sitting down to a modest portion

of [Fill in your favorite food here], the next time you visit the

doctor the scale has gone down. This is the life that you deserve and

it is waiting for you on the other side.

Take some deep breaths, put all negative thoughts aside, and enjoy

the

ride.

Wishing you a " CakeWalk "

Lenny:

My thoughts go out to you. Think back, don't you remember when other people

were approaching their surgeries they voiced the very same concerns? It's

normal. Just pick something to focus on and plod through and Friday will be

here before you know it. After all, you're having the 'world famous' Dr.

Gagner!

All the best,
