1 Seminar down!

Mar 09, 2011

So I went to the Bluegrass Bariatric seminar but *insert sad and confused face here* the Doctor was a no-show.  He had an emergency and could not make it to the seminar. Needless to say, I still have tons of questions.  The ladies from BG did a great job filling us in, but they didn't have much info on the VSG- only the Band. I am not opposed the Band but right now I am leaning more toward the Sleeve. We shall see what the Dr says when I meet him at intake - atleast, I hope I get to meet him! LOL

I am going to attend the seminar for Bariatric Associates of Louisville (the St Mary & Elizabeth) group - just to see what they have to say.  That group has no program fee, but they only do the Band. Hmm.. decisions, decisions.

Currently I have no co-mo's (look at me using that WLS lingo!!! Ohhh weee).  But the last couple days I have been extremely thirsty (drinking 50 oz of water and still thirsty) and yesterday my eyes went blurry. I thought it was a migraine (as I get them alot), took my meds and woke up today with the same thing.  I have drank almost 40 ox of water in 2-3 hours and not urinated, and my eyes are still quite blurry.  I got a little upset and called my VA Dr (spoke to a nurse).  They want me to come in first thing in the morning for a diabetes screening. ?!?!  Is this my hiddin co-mo?  I check my blood sugar every week or so, just because my mom has diabetes pretty bad, and my sugars are always within range. Anyway, the nurse said these are red flags of diabetes onset?!? We shall see. Not sure that is a good thing, unless it helps my insurance approval for WLS and it goes away with weight loss.

I will let you know what happens.
