Appointments!

Jan 09, 2011

It's hard to believe that I only have 2 appointments left and then it will be time for my surgery! It feels like I've waited so long for this, but the time is starting to pass really quickly. January 28 will be here before I know it.

This past week, on Wednesday, I had my appointment with the Psychologist. I was nervous for this appointment, but it ended up being nothing to worry about. The doctor was super nice and the meeting didn't last longer then 5 minutes! He just basically asked why I was getting the surgery, my family medical history, family life, education status, work status, and if I understood the risks associated with getting the Gastric Bypass surgery. When all was said and done he told me he saw no issues with me getting the surgery and he wished me the best of luck.

My next appointment, which was also on Wednesday, was with the Nutritionist at my surgeon's office. For some reason I was thinking it was going to be with a woman, but it was with a man, not that that matters. He was really nice and super helpful! We went over the meal plan that I will be following after surgery, and basically for the rest of my life. We also went over the supplements that I will need to take for the rest of my life. It's actually not that much, and I'm glad that I can take chewable multivitamins because those are usually big pills.

My daughter, who is 3 years old, doesn't really understand what is going on, but she knows that mommy will be going to the doctor's office and that she will come and see me at the hospital. I talk alot about the surgery with my husband, who is super supportive.

19 days!
