First Consult with the Surgeon!

Aug 27, 2009

My first appointment with the surgeon is on September 2nd.  It seems like it has taken forever to get to this point.  I am approved by my insurance company, so I am hoping the surgeon's schedule won't take too long to get onto.

I still have to do all my pre-op tests, but they want those done a week prior to surgery.  Guess I need to know my surgery date first before any of that can happen.  My dad wants to go with me to my appointment and I am fine with that.  He might come up with some questions I don't think to ask and it is always helpful to have a second set of ears.

Since I started seeing the therapist for pre-op sessions I have lost 10 pounds.  I am making changes to my current diet prior to surgery so it isn't such a major change.  I have found a protien mix I like and hoping I still like the tast after surgery.  Doing my best to focus on protien first, carbs last.  The therapist has been very encouraging and positive.  He is very happy with my progress and thinks I will be quite successful after surgery. 

Here's hoping that the appointment goes well and all my pre-op tests are OK.
