I was very impressed that when I walked in, it was the surgeon (Dr Fitzer) himself who was delivering the seminar. He spoke of the techniques used, how the surgery works for weight loss and the do's & don'ts. He also talked about the risks involved. Dr Fitzer was up front about some of these risks happening to his patients, but was able to mend them. I was already aware of all the things he spoke of since I have done alot of research on my own. At the end of his speech, he opened the floor for questions. It really hits you in the face that this is actually going to happen now. When you're actually there speaking with the surgeon and knowing that your health and life is going to completely change with this surgery. Tomorrow at 2:30, I meet one on one with Dr Fitzer to discuss my personal medical history. Hopefully tomorrow I will know when my surgery is going to be...not really sure how that works yet, but will definetely note it once I find out.
On a tourist note, Geoff and I went to the Stanley Theatre. The doors were unlocked and the man at the ticket booth said to go on in. What an amazing theatre. The architecture was unbelievable and antiqué. We roamed around the theatre, from the bottom up, pretending that we would some day attend a performance there. And of course, I didn't have my camera with me, but man, what a kodak moment that was. Just a gorgeous place to have the honor to visit.

ARRIVAL FOR SEMINAR & CONSULTATION
2:30pm - Geoff and I arrived at our hotel room in Utica. We made several stops along the way, including the Skydeck on Hill Island. We both went up right to the top, it was a beautiful view(pictures to come). U.S. Customs was a breeze, waited about 10 minutes max to get through. A bit of construction a long the way, but the roads are pretty good.
Special thanks to special friends for signing as guarantors. We appreciate very much the last minute request.
5:30 is the seminar....looking forward to it and will be taking lots of notes.
