Today I have my followup appointment with Dr. Huang as Dr. Nishimura is on vacation. Dr. Hung was the assistant Suergeon for my VSG.

I hope to get clearence to go back to work. I keep refering to the plan. I posted the Meal plan in a discussion group. Thought I would post it here as well. I re typed this as this was given to me by the Nut.
