Met with Surgeon yesterday and GP today

Oct 26, 2011

 Gah!
I was really 335 and 5 ft 8.5 inches which officially qualifies me as SUPER morbidly obese. I honestly had no idea. I knew I was close but to know that I am over even that furthest of lines really astounds me. I really like Dr. M. He gave me the forms to gve to my GP to have my weight recorded every month. We discussed the 3 types of surgery. He said lap band would not cut it for me so we are very much leaning toward sleeve. I wish I had a crystal ball that could tell me that is the the right way to go. At this point we can still change our mind but I will proceed believing that sleeve is it. I did the H. pylori breath test in the office since I had not eaten in the last hour. I passed that so no ABX for me. Yay! I am now trying to get paperwork together from the several doctors I have seen over the last three years with weights recorded. I hope I have enough. It says every 6 months but wit no co morbidities I just don't go to the doctor that often. Grrr. 

Also, today the GP confirmed that I do in fact weigh 335. My blood pressure was fine 124/80. He sees no need for meds. The last two times I had it checked it was 130s over 90s. Hopefully it will not go up and I can keep it managed until (and of course after) surgery.
