Well I don't know why I thought yesterday would be any different from my other appointments. I met with yet another person who I told my medical history to, they did some bloodwork, the doctor pressed on my tummy and that was about it.

No answers about what to expect in hospital ... no information. I asked what happened next and she sort of stared at me and said that next I come in and have my operation. Okay then.

So there you go - I suppose we'll just play this whole surgery thing by ear.

On another note - she was impressed with my weight loss.. by their scale it was 10 pounds.
