The real beginning

Oct 22, 2009

  Today I had my initial consult with Dr. Macik.  I was very nervous (not sure why).  Because of all of the information that I have gathered over the weeks through forums and chatting with others,  really didn't have any serious questions to ask him.  He is definitely not a talkative fellow, but was there to answer and questions or concerns that I had.

So now that I have gotten through the consult and it's been confirmed that I am in "need" of WLS, it's odd that I feel better.  Not sure why I needed a medical professional to tell me that I could stand to lose 100 lbs to make me feel better.  Maybe, at that moment, I was confident that this person could actually help me to lose the 100 lbs as apposed to telling me what I needed to do on my own.

I have been overweight for so long that when I looked in the mirror all these years, I saw a cute " big girl" and I didn't have a problem with it.  It wasn't until 4 years ago that the pictures of me started to look very different that what I saw in the mirror.  People that are anorexic often see themselves as fat when they look in the mirror, but I saw myself as thinner.  Not skinny, but smaller than what I really was.

Anywho, I am happy that progress is on it's way!  I have scheduled my psych eval for 11/5 and hopefully my PCP will write me a letter without seeing him again.  Blood tests were already completed in June and I don't have to repeat them.  Yea me!!!  I just have to find a NUT closer to home.

That's it for today..............standby for updates.............
