I've been up since 4am central after going to bed about 2am.  I'm not sure if it's just one of those nights I can't sleep or I'm just bursting at the seams about todays appointment.

Either way I am very sleepy and tired (remember I don't work, I'm seeking disability).  So I know todays going to be bad in terms of staying awake more than usual.

I think I'll pop a Provigil soon and then another later so I can fake it through the day.

I'm not nervous about the consultation because we already have all the insurance stuff worked out...100% coverage for any surgery they perform at New Dimensions WLS, even post op stuff.

I guess I just hope for a quick surgery date so I can get on with a new chapter of my life ASAP.  I've read all the things that should happen pre op, and believe me I've done them all, right down to chest xrays, 3D heart exams, psychologist evals, weight programs, thyroid tests and even started working with a personal trainer to get me ready for my post op routine.

So I just want to get it done.  Now which one, Gastric Bypass or the Sleeve, I'm not sure...Big Difference, but since the insurance is leaving it up to me and the Dr., now a decision has to be made.

That's all for now...Gotta go read up on the Sleeve procedure before I go later.

Thanks

I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas.  My pre surgery consultation is this Wed Nov 28, 2007.  I meet with a psychologist, dietician, personal trainer, the bariatric surgeon and have several tests done all in one day to certify me fit for the surgery.

I'm not to worried about it, I've seen all these kind of doctors before so I know where I stand. i had a full cardiac work up 3 months ago and all was perfect.

So I think I just enjoyed my last real thanksgiving meal, because this time next year, I'll be the new and improved Mark.
