NOTES:

1. Went to my PCP for pre-op testing. He is concerned about my overall well-being and wants to make certain that I am fully prepared for surgery. I love the guy but I will not let him delay this.

2. I have been suffering from a really severe case of gout. It's lessening this AM but it was killing me. I have got to get this under control. I understand that accute gout attacks are common after WLS. I have got to find a way to get rid of this.
