eat more healthy

Today was my first appointment with Dr. Roe. ugh. I weighed in at 412.5 lbs. I gained weight. And I had actually been trying to diet again for like the millionth time in my life.  Oh well... hopefull I can get approved for this soon. 

Anyway, Dr. Roe said that he felt that Roux en Y was the best option for my situation. Again he told me what would happen and what I would have to do to make it work. 

I am so excited. It's like being offered a new shot at life. I wish it was tomarrow.

So today I went to "New Patient Orientation" at Baltimore Bariatrics, Dr. Roe's office.  I have been thinking about gastric bypass for about 2 years now. I started thinking about it even before that, but a nurse at my doctor's office talked to me about it about 2 years ago. At that time I didn't think I was ready... looking back, I could've qualified for it then. Anyway... orientation was what I expected it to be; most of it I already knew from reading about everything I could get my hands on. He did say one major thing that I had never thought about or read anywhere... about how fat cells change hormones into other hormones. It was funny, when I asked him exactly what his website meant by minimally invasive open procedure... he kinda looked at me like "who are you to ask me something" lol. He is so cocky, but I liked the idea that he adapted the surgery to what he thought worked better. 

So I was weighed... 408lbs. ugh! I made an appointment for next month.
