Things Happen for a Reason!
Dec 30, 2009
Well, I was suppose to have my Ultra Sound today. I showed up as told at 7:00am at Sewells Pt Medical Center. When I get there, the receptionist told me that the nurse doing the Ultra Sound was in a car accident yesterday. I had to reschedule along with everyone else. I wasn't upset. I just thought I took off work to have this done. So I asked if this was the only facility doing Ultra Sounds, the recept. said PNMC does them too. Then the light bulb went off! Why not reschedule at PNMC when you have your Psych appt. Viola!!!!! SCHEDULED!!!!

Was I scared?
Dec 27, 2009
I just called to schedule my Psychologist appt. They had an opening for tomorrow and next week. I immediately asked what about the 19th of January (my Nutrtionist appt). Ummmm, why did I do that? Is it because things are moving a long so quickly? What was that sudden feeling; anxiety, scared, or "Oh Sh*T its really happening".
Well, what better way to face "fear", facing it head on! I'm calling back and setting my appt.!

Moving Along
Dec 22, 2009
I just scheduled my Ultrasound for next week, and my Nutrition appt for next month. Now, I'm waiting to schedule the Psych appt (have to wait 1 wk after meeting w/surgeon). I'm moving right along.

My Visit w/Surgeon
Dec 21, 2009
On Monday I had my initial consult with Dr. Bolanowski. It went quite well. We are moving forward with the Xrays, ultrasounds, and meetings with the Nutrionist & Psychologist.
It's starting to hit me, "OMG, I'm going to possibly be a size that I've only seen when I was a teenager!" It's a little scary, but exciting. I've already started getting in the habit of eating 3 meals a day. It's a start. I've cut back tremendously on my sweet tea intake. I USED to have at least 6 cups a day (either from fast food places or made at home). Now, I'm down to 2.5 cups a day with sugar. Soon I'll switch to using Splenda.
My Initial Consult w/Surgeon
Dec 18, 2009
My 1st appt with the surgeon is Monday. I did my EKG, blood work, and urine analysis on Thursday. I didn't realize how many vials of blood had to be taken. I was a trooper. I did go to my 1st Nutrition Support Group yesterday. Interesting; only 2 people showed up (that included me). I was assured that the meetings are ususally packed.

Today I went to the Orientation at NMCP. Received a lot a great information. Is there anyone on the forum that has had surgery at NMCP that can provide some advice?
