Oct. 2nd, 2009 - One Step Closer (Psych Green Light)

Oct 02, 2009

I can finally feel things moving along in this crazy process! This past week I had my 4th and final pre-op psych appointment and she said she is giving me the GREEN LIGHT and promised to have her paperwork submitted by next week along with mailing me a copy. This morning I had my 4th of 5 phone consultations with the HealthPartners WLS advisers, and after my final call on 10/12 they will fax my completion certificate to the Bariatric Center and HealthPartners office.

I had my required dietician appointment at the Bariatric Center a few weeks ago and she was quite impressed I had already lost 11 of the required 18 pounds and that I was logging all my food on SPARKPEOPLE.COM. This has made it MUCH easier to keep my calories around 1200 per day! This has helped me reach my GOAL pre-op weight required by the doc... as I hit 276 this week... so nice to see that instead of the 301 that was staring back at me back in early August!

This all means that in 2 weeks my Bariatric nurse should be submitting all my documentation to HealthPartners while I wait the standard 10 days or so to find out if I'm approved. I'm hoping to join all you losers on the bench sometime in November! Trying to remain patient!!!
