One Month Out already!!!

Sep 18, 2009

WOW how time has flown by.  I am one month out today.  Surgery went well I went into surgery on Tues the 18Th at 9:45am and was out by 10:45am i went into recovery and was in my room by 1:45pm.  I am so fortunate both my mom and dad were there and very supportive.  I came home on Thur afternoon in Lil pain but all was really well.  I had been walking about a mile a day at this point.  I went back to work that following Tues the 25Th.  All was well still on liquids and losing pretty consistently.  I got my stitches out on the 31st .  All is healing well and looking good.  I went back to the gym about a week later just to make sure I was healed and all was closed.  I am down 35 I am so excited. I will check my measurements on at the beginning of the month I will post then.  I am up to amount 4 miles day and lifting at least 5 days a week.  I am so excited and I am feeling great. People are really starting to notice the difference.  will post new pics soon!

Just taken it one day at a time.

Aug 11, 2009

So everything is moving so fast. I knew this week would fly by but wow. Its like everyday I have something.  Thursday I had my 3 hours NUT class it was very informational and I got all my questions answered. And I am so relieved to know I have purchased all the right vitamins and stuff for after surgery I know this is not rocket science but I don't want to mess anything up.  Yesterday I saw Dr. Quilici for my final consultation with him.  Today I saw my PCP for EKG and physical all as normal. Tomorrow I go for blood work and chest x-ray.  I have one more week on this journey and I am sooooo excited.  Liquid diet is going well. Down 11 pounds so I am on my way. Till next time.....

Remaining at Peace

Aug 03, 2009

On July 22nd I received my pre-op diet and orders in the mail.  After carefull review I realized I am set for surgery to have Lap Band.  To say the least I was upset.  I called my Dr's office to get some clarity.  Back on June 2nd,  I emailed Dr. and told him I deiced on RYN.  My paperwork wasn't submitted until June 20th so change was never made.  When I originally went in for my WLS options I was leaning towards Lap Band BUT after all info, recommendation and research I chose RYN.  Well it was never changed.  So the women I spoke to had to re submit paperwork for RYN.  I called my medical group a couple of days later they had nothing. I called Dr's office woman who handles this is out of office until Tues. I couldn't wait something had to be done Aug 18th is right around the corner and I have appointments and time requested off of work and I am blessed to have a supportive family who is taking time off as well. So I stayed on the Dr's office well checking with my medical group. Dr's office finally re faxed over change and Medical group received it.  On weds of last week it was pending, on Thurs it was under review. I am praying I will have authorization today for RYN. I have an appointment on Thurs with NUT.  Please keep me in prayer. I will keep u posted. Sabrina
