I am sooo happy and grateful. My upcoming surgery date is SEPTEMBER 29. I went into to office on August 17 to sign off on my paperwork but I had no idea I was going to have a surgery date so soon. I have been waiting for this day for over a year now. It has finally come and I am not looking back. 

Good Morning! So I finally finished my weight management classes. I had to do 6 months of that due to having very little weight loss. Since then I have lost 20lbs and it feels great. Now I can move on with consulting with the surgeon and other preoperative agendas that have to be completed before I am given a surgery date. I have completed so far all my testing as of last week which included heart testing, pulmonary functioning, psych evaluation, PCP visit, lab work, 2 support groups and 6 months of weight management. This evening I do have to attend another informational session one last time but other than that with the grace of God I'll be having my surgery before the year is out.

So since my last post I have made it past my 3 month weight management classes. I received all my pre-op agenda that has to be complete before surgery which include seeing an cardiologist, pulmonary specialist, psychologist and my PCP, attending 2 support groups and LAB work. I am so optimistic about the future as far as surgery goes. My last RNY procedure was a success but years later I didn't have the support I needed to keep the weight off. This time around I know and will learn from mistakes to keep healthy and keep growing as an person.

So I finally got to meet the surgeon in her office on 08/25/2014. We basically went over the whole weightloss process and expectations. I'm feeling optimistic and hoping I can go forward with the surgery. I also completed some test to check my pouch on 09/4/2014 and to see if there would be any complications. I had the follow-up on the results of my Upper GI Test on 11/19/2014 and everything looked fine. On Friday 01/30/2015 I had my first nutritional class and now I have to complete 2 more consecutive in order to qualify for surgery.

GOOD MORNING! SO LAST WEEK I FOLLOW UP WITH MY PCP ABOUT MY BLOOD WORK THAT WAS PERFORMED. I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAVE A VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY AND PREDIABETES. ALSO IVE BEEN COMPLAINING OF PAIN IN MY UPPER THIGH AND WAS TOLD I MIGHT BE EXPERIENCING SOME TYPE OF NERVE DAMAGE. WHAT ELSE COULD GO WRONG!
