Surgeon Testimonial

Great surgeon!! 40 minute surgery for me, no complications!! Great bedside manner!! This is the surgeon for you!! I would let any family member of mine see him. I switched surgeons and I am so glad I let Dr. McGill perform my surgery.

12 days!!

Headache city!! I tried to come off caffeine. I have decided to wait until after surgery and get off caffeine with the pain meds they give me.
No sodas since last week.
Just ready to get the show on the road. Getting the house clean so I don't stress over it while I need to be resting. So many things I have been meaning to do and now it is Springtime and Spring cleaning time. I will be so glad when I get this weight off and this time next year I will have so much more energy to get things done in a timely manner!
So the only people who know, that I know of about me having WLS is my husband, son, good friend and my Pastor's wife. I'm sure it will leak from these people, especially my husband, he keeps telling me I need to share this. What he really means is that he is dying to tell people, he never could keep a secret! He is so funny, just like a child!
Wondering how I will be doing after surgery since usually when something is easy for others I have a terrible time and when it is hard for others I do very well. And the meds, I react weird to meds, hope the pain meds do well for me.
I am getting excited though. Tried to make pudding protein shots, YUCK!! Orange Cremesicle shake, YUCK!!
Will try something else tomorrow. Was told to try the juice drinks and soups especially in the beginning, I'll try that too.
Was hoping to go to Dr. McGill's support group tonight but he is out of town and another surgeon was there. So I haven't gotten to one before my surgery. Hopefully I will feel like it next month and David can take me.

Last visit with surgeon...

Had gallbladder ultrasound then visit with Dr. McGill. Bloodwork, EKG and of course they took my money. Sure was happy to pay $500 instead of so much more. So glad I found Dr. Kevin McGill he is wonderful!!
So yes, the surgery is on for 4/11!!!! Yippee Skippee!!!
No pre-op diet, just liquids the day before and nothing after midnight prior to surgery. I weighed the same today that I weighed 7 months ago and that is with the 6 months physician/nut assisted diet. Go figure. It is my time to shine!!!

4/11, I think I will change my birthday, this is going to be wonderful!!
Had upper G.I., guess it was okay. Gallbladder Ultrasound tomorrow morning, last surgeon visit and pre op blood work all in one morning.
Then on to work, of course my job will be ending right before surgery and once I get better, out looking for a job once again.  But...I will not complain. I am so happy this is finally happening.
I get giddy actually when I pass clothes, doesn't matter what size or anything. I just know I will be in smaller sizes pretty soon. I don't shop anymore, don't care to, but underneath it all I am screaming, YES!!!!

Upper G.I. is Monday at 10
Ultrasound of gallbladder, meet surgeon, bloodwork is Thursday
Surgery scheduled for April 4th but will probably try to move it later by a week. I am ready but I have to give my employer some type of notice. I think. She is so excited for me too but I don't think she was expecting it to happen this quick. Everyone on here has been so great!!
Brittany at Dr. Kevin McGill's office was awesome getting all of this taken care of. She said, "Do you want to get this done asap?" Of course I did but didn't expect it to come so soon.
We are in Valdosta, GA visiting one of my sons for his birthday. Boy have I eaten!! a Country Buffet the first night with loads of southern sweet tea, Saturday: Cheddars Restaurant (to die for!) for lunch and Subway for dinner then CHEESECAKE with coolwhip and milk as my son's birthday cake. Isn't it strange that we plan pretty much everything around eating. Why can't we go for a family jog for a birthday or a hike or fishing? What is wrong with us?!
I am so excited I cannot wait to have this done and let the pre opers know how things go.
I am weird when it comes to surgery. Something that they say will be easy is usually rough on me and those that are hard on most people, I breeze through like my hysterectomy, it was not bad at all.
Wishing everyone well!!

Thank you all for your encouragement!! Called Cigna today and was told, "The first decision was overturned." She asked me if that made my day and of course it did. She also told me not to jump the gun to wait until I had the letter in hand. I said, I have been waiting 7 months, I don't think I can jump the gun at this point.
Yippee, Skippie!!!
