Surgeon Testimonial

John W. Baker M.D.
I attended my first seminar this week, and everything is so interesting. I am looking forward to my surgery. Dr. Baker seems really supportive of his patients.rnMy sister is my initial supporter, and she also is going to have the surgery. rnI hope to find the answers to some of the questions I have on this site. (questions to be posted when I have them all in order)rnI will post more as I move along with my progress, and office visits, and get answers to more questions I have for him and the staff.

Wendy Posted a wonderful poll, and here is my...

   What got me to the point of having WLS?
*Emotional eating
*Eating when bored (I have alot of time on my hands)
*Eating when depressed (diagnosed with depression)
*Eating when stressed (sometimes the happy pills just dont work)
*Hiding snacks in my room to eat throughout the night
*Eating my main meal after 7pm every night. Which consisted of some wonderful greasy fried meat with all the yummy trimmings. (I eat by 5pm now, and not often any fried foods)
*Watching a movie while munching out on a bag of powdered doughnuts and a pack of mini Baby Ruth bars
*6 pack or more of diet Dr. Pepper or more a day
*Eating too fast and not chewing properly
*Becoming inactive

  I have not had my surgery yet, but I have made alot of changes in my eating habits, and what as well as when I eat.
  I went cold turkey on the diet Dr. Peppers! (very hard but I did it) I now drink very few clear non caffinated sodas, a 6 pack last me 2 weeks. I drink mostly flavored water all day.
My only caffine is my morning coffee, and I am sure I will not change to decaf... YUKK!
  I am working really hard on the head issues now so it wont be so bad after surgery. And I hope it works, if not I have Therapist on speed dial, and OH to come to.

My head wont be still!!!
on December 18, 2009 9:26 am
Soooo... I have been waiting to see when they start scheduling surgeries for 2010.
   I am number 23 on the list as soon as they start scheduling. BUT!... there's always some ass involved somewhere (last remark for my entertainment). I was told it could be set as far out as April, May or June ... Yeah, and as anxious as I am about getting the WLS and getting on with my life from there, tis a bit unnerving to have to wait so long yet still. And this has gotten my head spinning from one extreme to another.
    I know that it all takes time, but by golly I am ready to get er dunn already.
   I have given myself all the speaches I could think of since I got the message yesterday. They didnt work. My mind is still in next month mode and my body is withdrawing from anxiety. I'd a never thunk it!!!
   But on a note, they did tell me to check in from time to time, and I will. Also I will drop them a note that if they have any cancellations, I am more than ready and can be there within three hours from here. Of course I will wait til next week to send the message, and keep my fingers crossed for the best outcome of the situation.
Worst case scenario... I have to take Xanax all day tomarrow as well as today. LOL

Those praying members... please pray for a good word from surgeon as soon as it may come. And toss in a lil something for my sanity too.
   Now I have to get things around here ready for me to go babysit tomarrow and sunday. So I may or may not be at chat Monday night. I hope I am around here so I can be anyway.
   I have my surgery on my shoulder Wednesday so I will be the usual MiA again for a few days.

   Stay warm, and I will try to stay sane! Huggz,
