I went to see my PCP for the first physical I have had in 12 years. 
He was very supportive of my desire to seek WLS. 
My EKG and blood pressure were good so I was encouraged. I am going to Dr. Duncans seminar on the December 15th. My daughter Emily is coming with me so she can learn about it. 
I am really looking forward to moving forward. I am a single mom of 2. My son is 15 1/2 and my daughter is 12. 
We have been in Georgia for 18 months and I really have not met many people. My Aunt had a RNY last month. She really is doing very well. The dietary restrictions are a bit of a learning process but overall, she is doing really well.
I moved to Georgia to be close to her and my Uncle. She is my best friend and number one cheerleader.

Okay, I am on the upswing now. My pain is managable now. I am feeling much better and focusing on staying hydrated. I am still on clear liquids and can honestly say that my body is not hungry but my mind is bored with it already. Oh well, it's part of the process. I have not pissed off my new pouch so I am feeling good. If I could keep the doggs from running across my stomach, I would feel much better. I have been walking a fair amount which I believe is a positive. Wednesday was by far my worst day. I hated Wednesday and thought I would die. I am happy to be healing well.

. I spent a good portion of my day trying not to throw up. It was so nasty going down, I was genuinly fearful that it would come up. That being said, I have to do it again tomorrow. 
. My anxiety is subsiding and I am focused on preparation now. I take my finals for my classes the night before surgery 
. It is a good thing I take my classes online 
and I have a laptop because apparently, I have to drink that phosphosoda for 2 days 
.
It is still very hard but has added to my resolve to get healthy. Because of Forest's death, I lost my insurance and had to re apply for Medicaid 
. They finally approved me and my surgery is scheduled for the 30th
. I am nervous because my health has even more significance now. Dr. Hobson is going to be my surgeon and I meet him on the 17th. I am the luckiest woman to have the love and support of my family the way I do.
