Update from PCP appointment

Nov 08, 2013

Well, the news is good and discouraging, but mostly good.  I had my appointment with my primary care doctor yesterday.  First thing was the weigh in.  I was shocked when I got on the scale and it read 301.6.  WOWZA!  I was not expecting that.  I never thought I would break the 300 barrier, but here I am.  I asked my husband to go with me for support and he was amazing!  I am so very thankful for all the love he gives me even when I feel like I don't deserve it.  Anyway, Dr. Lantelme came in and said that he did not have a problem at all with helping me through this process and was so very encouraging.  He did have a word of caution in considering the r-n-y due to the malabsorbtion issues and getting the nutrients and vitamins to a healthy level after that, but was totally on board as a whole.  He also highly recommended Dr. Fuzz (Fernando) at Baptist.  WE went ahead and set up visits for me to comply with the insurance company guidelines.  He prayed with my husband and me before we left and I was so comforted by the whole process.

So I have 6 months to figure some things out.  At this point I would like to loose weight before surgery.  I am leaning towards the gastric sleeve at this point but that could change and I am fine with that.  I trust that by the time May gets here I will know exactly what will be best for me.  I am excited about how my life will change, but I also realize that this is going to be hard work too.  

Let the journey BEGIN!
