Hello All,

Just wanted to do a quick update, I am getting very excited about my upcoming surgery date. My husband Mike had his surgery yesterday with Dr. Coirin, and everything went perfect! I am so happy for him, and cannot wait to get him home! I have been diligent about keeping to the caffeine free, coffee free, diet Pepsi free, lifestyle. Today it has been rough, I guess that is why I am talking about it now! I honestly have to say if there are any of you who have not quit on any of the mentioned, DO IT NOW.... It will make the transformation come surgery time much easier. As the nutritionists tell you, the last thing you want to be dealing with in the hospital is caffeine withdrawals on top of everything else. Beside you cannot have carbonated drinks post-op anyway. Well I had better get back to work now. I have one more thing to say, "HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, IT'S SUNNY OUTSIDE"!!!!

I am so excited, I received my phone call from Dr. Coirin's office yesterday, and I was approved for surgery! I was able to schedule my surgery for the 18th of March, 2004. I am so thrilled this will give me a chance to get all matters in line at home as well work prior to my date. I also need to be available to assist my dear husband Mike through his surgery, which is scheduled for March 4th! To all of you waiting for your surgery date keep your chin up the process seems to fly by! Till next time- Kristie

My Story

HELLO ALL, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO BARIATRIC SURGERY FOR A LITTLE OVER ONE AND A HALF YEARS NOW. CURRENTLY I AM WAITING FOR MY REFERRAL TO MEET WITH THE PSYCHOLOGIST. I HAVE ENJOYED GETTING FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THOSE OF US LOOKING INTO THIS PROCEDURE, WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY OF SUPPORT.

IT HAS BEEN SORT OF AN ADVANTAGE HAVING MY HUSBAND MIKE, WHO IS ALSO A CANDIDATE FOR THE SURGERY; HE HAS KEPT ME UPDATED ON WHAT A LOT OF OTHER PATIENTS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE EXPERIENCING. MIKE AND I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED SPENDING TIME WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SUPPORTIVE IN BOTH OUR DECISIONS TO GO FORTH WITH THE BYPASS PROCEDURE. AT THIS POINT, I REALLY DO NOT HAVE ANY SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH THE SURGERY, HOWEVER, MAYBE THE CLOSER IT GETS I WILL.

I HAVE BEEN BATTLING WITH MY WEIGHT SINCE THE TIME I WAS A CHILD, I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS DIETS AND HAVE FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES OTHER WISE I WOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION. (THANK GOD, WE CAN ALL RELATE!)

I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS PROCEDURE CAN WORK AS A USEFUL TOOL IN MAINTAINING MY (SOON TO BE), WEIGHT LOSS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A HUGE EATER; HOWEVER, I DO MAKE THE WRONG FOOD CHOICES, EXERCISE TOO LITTLE, AND HAVE A SLOW METABOLISM. CURRENTLY I HAVE BEEN ON THE ATKINS DIET, (AGAIN) AND AM PUTTING MY ALL INTO IT. I NEED TO TAKE OFF A LITTLE MORE WEIGHT BEFORE SURGERY AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE LOSING UP TO THE POINT OF MY SURGERY DATE. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. UNTIL NEXT TIME- TIRED OF BEING FAT- KRISTIE :)
