There is even a sign in his office that says "In an emergency call our office first before going to the ER." They don't call them "gatekeepers" for nothing. I told the Doc not to worry about it -- we will make up for it next week when DH comes in for his initial appointment. Fortunately, he has no medical issues (that we know of).

Good morning, BK - you're so right. Our focus for 2019 should be more about health than weight loss, although proper weight certainly is a component of good health. For example, it doesn't make sense to make a goal of losing "x" number of pounds and learn NOTHING along the way that you can carry on as a lifestyle change to maintain that loss.
