3 month update ?
May 13, 2013
surgery was a success! (of course or I wouldn't be blogging on here). It went extremely smooth and I was home the next day. As of this morning I was at 239 (322 being my highest), it's hard to believe I'm close to losing 100lbs from my highest weight.
6 more weeks
Dec 18, 2012
With surgery just around the corner I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I am excited one moment and sad the next.
I'm slowly starting to see who my real friends are. I was on FB tonight and one of my "close friends" wrote a indirect status in regards to individuals who use WLS as a way to lose weight. I know that it was directed at me and I'm having a hard time understanding why in the world is she being this way? I was hoping she would be more supportive but it looks like I'll be cutting ties with her soon. She wants to lose 34lbs by my surgery date and individuals who use WLS are lazy. Ugh.
Other than THAT, everything is going well. I have my pre op appt on the 31rst and then I'll have a few weeks left. o.O
Cardio Clearance!

First Follow up with Doc
Aug 10, 2012
Went to see Dr. Bonanni yesterday and just as everyone said, he is the most down to earth and caring doc. I do have to get a medical clearance from the cardio even though I have no current heart related issues but since my BMI is 50, it is required. I am also getting a endo done first week in October. He said he does not know when I'll be getting my surgery, but he sent the request in for approval today so fingers crossed! He also said that he's been making a longer ending so I have less side effects. He said he and this one doc in New York are currently the only ones making this. Anything for less side effects! Hmm... I'm also getting a liver biopsy done since I have a fatty liver and that pretty much sums it up. All in all, a good visit!
Undecided

I would like to do the ds. I like its long term effect, the probability that I won't regain, more weight loss ect, what I do not look forward to is the vitamin regimen. Who said weight loss is an easy thing? My second uption is the VS or rxy. I will let my doctor decide that for me I think?
The NP told me the surgery is usually 3 months after my appointment with him which puts me at around November. Anyways, I'm just rambling when I should get some sleep. /yawn
