Had Dietician and Surgeon consult today

Feb 11, 2011

Well, as the title says, I have met with my surgeon and dietitcian today. Both tell me that they think I will do extremely well, and I'm sooo excited! It was funny hearing that I'm a minority in this surgery -- the surgeon says not many childbearing-age women go in for this surgery. Dr. Parker is extremely nice, and I feel comfortable with her. The dietician was great as well and gave me lots of great info. I'm going to try my "healthy changes" on Monday and starting my workout regimen. I have the blueprint for my 2 week post-op diet as well....I know it will be ROUGH, but I can do anything for 2 weeks. I will get my surgery scheduled week after next, since my psych eval got pushed back to next Wednesday, but I was tole April is pretty much open to any day, so I'll probably do it April 4th. I don't get my PTO renewed until that month, so it naturally seems to be a better choice, in case I need to take more than 3 weeks off. I don't have much PTO to work with for the time being. I"m very excited and very ready to get  this underway. I'm ready to be active -- I want to be able to bike, swim, run....Do it all without being in constant pain and being so short of breath because of my weight.


WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO!
