First blog of the SWL road

Mar 19, 2021

Today, holding the clothes I will be wearing later on after the veinous ablation, I weigh 303. This isn't my heaviest weight though. I'm not a social media person. Not much of a social person either, but can be if I really, really felt like it. My primary doctor suggested WLS to me back in November at my annual. I said no. He asked me to just hear the bariatric office out. I saw most of the webinar. No one contacted me as I was told they would or I didn't submit the paperwork. A few weeks later I finally call. I got the link to the youtube video to see the part that I missed.

Well, I tentivally met with the doctor's office. Told the doctor I was not even close to doing anything. I also learned, HA, I already had almost everything that was required. I only needed the final bloodwork, speak to the social worker and dietitian. Social worker approved me. The dietitian and I had our first of three meetings.

I only made up my mind last week that i will get the surgery. I will say, today, I am still not 100% sure though
