I am now 5 months post op. I am feeling great. I am down to 195. I have lost 77 pounds. I am enjoying summer for the first time since I was a kid. The heat doesn't bother me like it used too. I had my labs done last week and was told that I had low thiamine and b-12. I just need to make sure that I am taking them everyday. Otherwise, I am enjoying having the summer off. Being a high school teacher is tough, especially here in NYC. Have a great summer and I will post again in a month or so.

My grandmother died today. I am very sad, however, she did live a good, long life. I am having surgery next week on the 13th. I went for presurgical testing yesterday and am excited for next week. The whole process from the first appointment until the surgery was 8 weeks. Time flew by. I am ready and look forward to losing.

I went to the information session on 11/16 and made the appointment At Dr. Vohra's office for December 13th. In the meantime I will visit my PCP on 11/27/06. I have been the type of person that would not visit my doctor because of my weight. I have seen him once in the past 2 years because I had strep throat. Otherwise, I have been embarrassed of stepping on the scale.I am over that now because I want to go ahead with the surgery. I will be checking with my insurance, Multiplan, to make sure that I am covered.
