Nov 17, 2009

Dang it's been a long time since I have posted anything. I'm not sure where to start but a lot has changed. Vanderbilt did not live up to what I expected a center of excellence to be.  I just did not feel that Vanderbilt was a good fit for me anymore so I did what I felt I need to do and took myself out of that situation.

I have decided the the Duodenal Switch is the better surgery for me. I chose to go to Dr. John Husted. He is located in Somerset, KY. It is a longer drive for me but I believe this is where I need to be now. 

Of course, Tim took me to my first appointment with Dr. Husted. We both agreed that Dr. Husted seemed to be a personable Dr.  and really knows his stuff. From all the research that I have done so far it seems that the DS will allow me to eat more normally. Somehow the DS makes your body work like a "skinny" person. That's fine with me cause there ain't been nothing skinny about me in a long, long time.

OH! I almost forgot - I have my surgery date already with Dr. Husted - it 12/11/2009. Happy late birthday to me!!!

I am starting my 2 week liquid diet on 11/27/2009, I am going to try really  hard to post through out my experience from here on out.  Until then........
