12/14/06 - OK. So here I am. I will be having surgery on December 29th by Dr. Argotte. I have had an EGD on 12/1/06 and a vena cava filter placed on 12/5/06. I meet with the dietician on 12/18/06 and for my final visit and signing of my surgical consent on 12/21/06. I also will have my pre-op testing on 12/21/06. Whew! And I have been on the shrinking liver diet since 11/20/06 but have only lost 8 pounds. I will be increasing my treadmill walking to see if I can get the weight loss to move a little faster. My metabolism is probably at a zero so I am trying to work on that to hopefully increase my weight loss before surgery. I am really looking forward to this surgery and not to be shopping in the "plus size" department within the next year. I am anxious and nervous but also excited and hopeful. Does that make sense?
