results after WLS evaluation/Consultation appt on 5-4-09

May 04, 2009

I went for my WLS Evaluation Consutation and class yesterday. Boy was I nervous. But I came away feeling good and calmer than I'd been before. Becky (the Coordinator/Nurse) put on a very interesting class and I learned a lot. I met my Surgeon (Dr. Roller) and I like his friendly, honest style. He wants me to get started on the Post Op diet /Life style change now so I can get used to it while going through the medically supervised 6 months weight loss program that is required by my insurance. He makes sense and I'm going to do it. Becky suggested I get a baby fork and spoon and a timer to get used of the restrictions afterwards. I feel a little silly, but I want very much to succeed so I'm going to get a couple sets. I'm going to pick out characters that I like for the sets I wonder if they have pooh or any of the hundred acre woods gang?? It was suggested that I pick out small plates and bowls as well. Time to go shopping and see what our Super Walmart or Kmart has to offer!!

I get to use my counseling group for the Psych eval and call in for a dietary eval as soon as I can afford it. I'm to start getting sample packets of proteins to try out and begin switching my vitamins over to what I will be taking post op. I take vitamins now so the habit shouldn't be to hard to get into

I see them again in Early November, I have to remember to call them in Late September to get an appointment. I feel pinched like my back is against a wall due to job requirements. I may have to wait on surgery until my FMLA kicks in again (April next year) to keep my job, but surgery needs to be done this year for my health and Insurance has said this year it will cover it 100% but next year they aren't sure how much they will cover. If anyone who reads this is a praying person, Please pray for me to have a good resolution of this mess I'm in Thanks Hugs and Prayers, Jean
