Mar 23, 2011

This is my first blog post ever.  Lots of firsts for me from now on.

Here are my stats so far:  

Oct 18, 2010 - asked family MD to refer me to the Bariatric referral program in Ontario
Dec. 13, 2010 - attended a general information meeting at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton.
March 4, 2011 - 1st meeting with nurse and nutritionist.
Mar 4-23, - all of the pre-op appointments incl. gastroscopy, abd US, sleep lab, etc.

next steps;
Mar 24 - respirologist appointment (probably will need CPAP)
April 7 - appointment with surgeon - Dr. Anvari.

Thoughts:

I am very excited and hopeful.  I feel I am beginning the next phase of my life in many ways (kids are grown, planning out my retirement from my current career - hopefully in 9 years) and now planning to focus on being the best me that I can be.
