Had a Pity Party in August...

Sep 07, 2010

I really haven’t been here in the last few weeks. My heart just hasn’t been in it – and the scale unfortunately showed it. I went up a whole 16lbs from my weight on 8/10/2010!! I know some of it was edema, but still – SO NOT NECESSARY!! But my little pity party has been over for a week now. So I am back fully on track. I have been doing what I am supposed to be doing, and some of the weight has started to come off. So it is time to start spending a little more time here again and get myself back fully on track and get myself back into gear. If all goes well I will be having surgery in 65 days – 11/11/2010. Psych & Pulmonary clearances were a piece of cake. Go for my first nut visit 9/14 & hopefully my second one on 10/5, That would satisfy nutritional consults. And I am going to go to my support group meetings on those same days – so that would satisfy my group requirements, as well. The only “issue” is seeming to be my Endo clearance. She isn’t super happy with my sugar at the moment. My A1c, in the beginning of August ’10, was 8.7. Now I know that is really kinda stinky. And I also know that the more controlled my sugar is, the better my healing will be after surgery, etc. but considering that in Dec ’09 my A1c was 11.1. I am kinda happy with my sugar as it is showing a definite improvement. Dr. S. no, not so much happy!  She changed my meds from metaglip 5-500 2 pills, 2x a day to Metformin 1000mg. 1 pill 2x a day and Glipizde 5mg 1 pill 2x a day. So what I am taking now is basically very similar to what I was before, but it is unbound and I am also taking 10mg less of Glip for now. Dr. S. thinks Met is like close to the gold standard in treatment – so we will see. I go for blood work on 10/5, then have another f/u on 10/13. Hopefully she will clear me then. If she doesn’t, I do not think I will be having surgery 11/11/2010...
