Support Group
Feb 20, 2010
I went to a support group meeting this morning. I did learn some things I didn't know.I found out that the Realize Band holds 11 cc's, I didn't know that. I have read so many different things. But this is the only one my surgeon uses.
I learned that my surgeon would give me a fill once a month until I was where I need to be.
I learned that my surgeon requires 1 week of liquids prior to surgery, 2 wks after surgery & then to soft foods.
I learned that my surgeon does not require you to do 24 hours of liquids after each fill.
I bought some protein today, but I have already been drinking that & really enjoy the feeling of fullness I get after having a shake.
I contacted the surgeons office yesterday to ask if they had my release from the sleep Dr as well as the psych & they said yes. I also sent them my support group meeting certificate (I recd that last month)
I asked about the nutrition class & she said I should wait until April to do that. So I am going to call & make an appt for the April 7th class. I have my 4th visit with my PCP on Tuesday. It seems like January went by REALLY slow where this process is concerned counting down the last 3 visits with the PCP.
I plan to continue support group meetings from now on. I have gotten a good bit out of the ones I have been to & it motivates me to hear people talk about their journey.
