I HAVE A DATE!!!!
Sep 05, 2008
Guess what!!! The pcc just called me from the hospital (University of WA) and I am so excited now & I have a date now. October 29th, 2008 I have waited a long time for this to come true. My journey started back on Jan 6th, 2008 when I made a decision to start the process.
March I saw the doctor
April went to a seminar
May went to see a social worker, and the dietation.
Aug went to see the doctor again, and the nurse.
When I went to see the doctor in August he told me that he talked to the social worker and it was determined that I have the gastric by-pass instead of the lap band. They thought that it would be better for me due to the fact that I have been an emotional eater for 22 years. I will also lose weight much faster.

Meeting the doctor

March 20st, 2008-
I had my first doctor's appointment. His name is Andrew Wright. He is cool and of course good looking. He asked me some questions and I was allowed to asked questions. He had my laid down on the table to check my stomach area. He went over the different surgeries and told me that he agree that I picked the right one for me.
My next stops are to go to the seminar, meet with the social worker and the nutristionist.

It was 3:00pm and I haven't ate all day and I was also thristy. I was on my way out to my aunt's house and I got off the freeway to go to McDonalds. I ordered two double cheesburges and a diet coke. After I paid for my food my cell phone rang. It was the University of WA asking me if I was still interested in the lap band surgery. I said YES! Then my next thought was that "Well, this is my last cheeseburger!" I better enjoy it while I can. So my appointment to meet with the doctor was scheduled for March 20th, 2008.

Wow that was fast! I got a call from the U of WA Paul. He took an intake over the phone. He said that I will have to wait for about two months. Then I can get an appointment to come and see the doctor. So I am on my way to a brand new me.

My Starting Point
Jan 07, 2008
On January 6th, 2008 at 7pm. I made the decision to call and leave a message to get an appointment to see the doctor for the surgery. I also got an email from my primany care doctor told me that he faxed my records over to the hospital. I hope that they call me back with an appointment.
