Surgery date booked: January 23rd
on December 29, 2011 6:52 pm
I'm sooo excited!  Got a call from my surgeon's assistant early this evening and she offered me a date in January.  Said I was the best prepared of Dr. Malik's patients.     So my friend Debbie and I had McDonald's tonight as my last meal and tomorrow I start the liquid diet.  Just 3 or 4 Glucerna or Ensure meal replacements a day plus water until surgery.  Sherri, the surgeon's assistant, will get my endocrinologist appointment rescheduled and I've got some blood tests and an ECG to do as soon as possible, too!

Endocrinologist appointment and 'scope booked
on December 9, 2011 11:13 pm
This week I received a letter from the endocrinologist with an appointment in late January and a couple of lab reqs (bloodwork and an ECG) as well as a call from Sherri, Dr. Malik's assistant, giving me a Jan. 17th date for the 'scope.  She said that if everything goes well that I'll probably be booked for surgery in February or March!  Wahoo!  This is just what I needed to hear to keep me on track through the Christmas season of potential food excess though I haven't done badly the last couple of years given my body's reactions to various foods I used to love (chocolate = heartburn, fatty, rich foods = gastric distress, milk products = psoriasis flare ups). 

If I get the surgery done in the Spring I hope to have lost enough weight to make a difference to how I tolerate the Summer heat.  At this point I don't tolerate it.  I overheat quite easily and though we have a mild climate here when the temps reach more than about 22 degrees Celsius I get uncomfortable.  What a joy it would be to be comfortable on days like that.  I would feel "normal" again.
