Oh My Goodness

Oct 17, 2014

I must say I left my second office visit in turmoil. Apparently insurance guidelines changed after my first visit but no one told me. I was not impressed with the bedside manner of my surgeon or his curt demeanor so I humbled myself and left in tears with an appointment for an endoscope in November. I was hoping for a surgery date over Thanksgiving break but I have to WAIT 90 complete days from the first day I went in.  As of now I have had two office visits, two nutrition/exercise visits, two behavior modification visits, an appointment for an endoscopy, an appointment for a psych evaluation, and a final appointment with the surgeon.  I basically had little assistance from the doctor's office but have found the nutritionist to be very helpful.  There definitely needs to be a better way to organize all of this and I have not found my center to be helpful in that way. 

L  encouraged me to try coconut water which is super healthy in addition to the protein drinks I will be drinking.  I am keenly aware of everything I eat and am making some changes that will benefit me greatly post-op. She has been a great resource for my jouney.  

Now I will have the psych evaluation next week and am a bit nervous about that as I have never had one before. I am also praying that the endoscopy will be normal. On that day, if all goes well, I will have a surgery date. BTW I weighed 5.5 pounds less this time.  Until later.
