Ron Good luck with your visit with Beth. We are all here for you and really want you to get to the 405 for your surgery and yes every pound counts. Keep your chin up and don't give up, I have faith in you, you can do this. Chit Chat to us and we will be here for you. Take care. DonnaBBQ Man wrote: Hello everyone. I just wanted to check in and let you all know about my visit to Richmond today. On one hand it was no big event, and on the other hand, it may have been a bit of a crossroads for me. I was there for a weight check, but decided I would start asking some questions. First things first though.... I weighed in at 459.

That's 3 pounds lighter than my January 12 check-in. It's been a real yo-yo month... but less is less, I guess. Just a mere 54 pounds to go for my surgery date. That's my "carrot". Anyway, I asked to see my case manager () and was told she's no longer with Kaiser... nice of them to tell me. But, I was able to have a short chat with Liz. She told me that the surgeons were very strict about their guidelines and there would be no "re-considerations". In fact, I should feel "lucky" that Dr. Baggs agreed to do surgery at 405, as they usually don't do it on people over 400 pounds. And by no means was she being "nasty" or condescending in what she told me. I talked to her briefly also about my feelings of seeing so many others "pass me up" and asked about seeing Beth (the

psychologist). So, I have an appt. to see her next week and maybe she can help me get past all this crap. It's just so hard to put that aside, although I keep trying. I'll let you know how things go after my chat with Beth. In the mean time, I'll be continuing my daily struggle in hopes of dropping more fat cells. Thanks for listening to my yammering for now... I'll be chit chattin' more later. Ron Donna JordonDSJordon@...
