HELLO ALL, I HAVE BEEN LOOKING INTO BARIATRIC SURGERY FOR A LITTLE OVER ONE AND A HALF YEARS NOW. CURRENTLY I AM WAITING FOR MY REFERRAL TO MEET WITH THE PSYCHOLOGIST. I HAVE ENJOYED GETTING FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THOSE OF US LOOKING INTO THIS PROCEDURE, WHAT A GREAT OPPORTUNITY OF SUPPORT.
IT HAS BEEN SORT OF AN ADVANTAGE HAVING MY HUSBAND MIKE, WHO IS ALSO A CANDIDATE FOR THE SURGERY; HE HAS KEPT ME UPDATED ON WHAT A LOT OF OTHER PATIENTS IN THE COMMUNITY ARE EXPERIENCING. MIKE AND I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED SPENDING TIME WITH OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN SUPPORTIVE IN BOTH OUR DECISIONS TO GO FORTH WITH THE BYPASS PROCEDURE. AT THIS POINT, I REALLY DO NOT HAVE ANY SERIOUS CONCERNS WITH THE SURGERY, HOWEVER, MAYBE THE CLOSER IT GETS I WILL.
I HAVE BEEN BATTLING WITH MY WEIGHT SINCE THE TIME I WAS A CHILD, I HAVE BEEN ON NUMEROUS DIETS AND HAVE FAILED NUMEROUS TIMES OTHER WISE I WOULD NOT BE IN THIS SITUATION. (THANK GOD, WE CAN ALL RELATE!)
I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS PROCEDURE CAN WORK AS A USEFUL TOOL IN MAINTAINING MY (SOON TO BE), WEIGHT LOSS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN A HUGE EATER; HOWEVER, I DO MAKE THE WRONG FOOD CHOICES, EXERCISE TOO LITTLE, AND HAVE A SLOW METABOLISM. CURRENTLY I HAVE BEEN ON THE ATKINS DIET, (AGAIN) AND AM PUTTING MY ALL INTO IT. I NEED TO TAKE OFF A LITTLE MORE WEIGHT BEFORE SURGERY AND WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE LOSING UP TO THE POINT OF MY SURGERY DATE. IF ANY OF YOU HAVE ANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW. UNTIL NEXT TIME- TIRED OF BEING FAT- KRISTIE :)
