Well today after requesting my refund from Dr. Michael L. Green's office Feburary 27th because his corporate office postponed my surgery at the last minute, I finally got it but had to Contact the State's Attorney General's Office to get it and then IT WAS SHORT.  Contacted their office again and they agreed they made a mistake and they will get an approval and it will be mailed to me with 3-4 weeks.  This has been a nightmare and the more I have trouble with his office the more I am relieved that I didn't have my surgery done my him (I am a firm believer of the buck stops with him and that he should have known what was going on in his Dallas office. If it hasn't been one thing it is another.  I do know that he has a great dietition in his Dallas office and her name is Connie...I have nothing bad to say about her.

Well I am walking a little more than I did when I started walking.  My four year granddaughter tells me that we have to walk after supper so she can get her exercise and run off the sugar that she has eaten.  She got the latter at school.  They told her too much sugar is bad for her.  I am so thankful that she wants to walk  with me because I can't tell her NO.  I get up and walk.  I will start water aerobics in about two to three weeks.  I still haven't gotten my refund from the first surgeon that was going to do my surgery but I will be raising more cain next week.  I have only asked for it since February 27, 2008.  It only took two days to cash my check!!!!

Went to surgeon's office today and I have lost 12 pounds.  I was so happy.  Everything is going okay.

Just got in from the WLS Support Group.  I really liked it tonight.  Everyone talked to everyone (which that didn't happen the first support group session I went to)  I dreaded going tonight but I really had a good time.  I surprised alot of people being 8 days out of surgery and being there.  I still haven't had any problems and doing really well.  I feel like I am doing something wrong or something.  I went to grocery store today for yogurt but I saw a lot of things I would love to have but that was the old me.  I didn't buy anything but the yogurt.  I am trying to keep moving because I am afraid of having DVTs.  I have my PT/INR test tomorrow.  Looking forward to that level....

I am still doing really well.  I have issues with the protein drink but I hope I get over it.  I just seem not to choke it down and tried watering down but just can't get them down.  Started on Boost and it does help.  I did too much today and I will be resting more tonight.  I went and had the oil change in my car and then went to the place to rotate the tires and then went to my Aunt's place to see her and she lives in assisted living and her apartment is in the back and saw her for a little while and left and thought I would not make it back to the car and then drove 10 miles home where I had to sit in the car to get the energy to go into the house.  Tomorrow I can rest more.  Won't do that anymore. 

I got up this morning feeling really good.  I wanted to get out of the house and I drove up to the service station (around a mile away) and got a water and came back home.  I was tired and took a nap, but I did get out.  I have been moving around the house and going out to the mailbox to get the mail so I can get my energy back.  Have lots to do next week.

I still doing really well.  Had issues with my insulin but the doctor has worked that out right now.  Have to monitor all weekend and call his office Monday morning.  I hope I can get off the insulin and be able to stay off of it.

I had a good night sleep and I am still just a little sore. My blood sugars are still a little high but they will be going down today because I can control the sugar free stuff.  I was given liquids after surgery that was high in sugars by accident at the hospital.

Surgery is tomorrow and I am getting a little nervous.  My daughter in law made me supper and it is something that I will probably give up after surgery.  The hours are dragging.
