Chugging along

Feb 18, 2012

I met with the surgeon in December and was ok'ed for the surgery. Yay! I also had my appointment with the psychologist as well. That went ok. She wants me to work toward getting rid of the diet pepsi addiction. I've  started mixing it up and using  crystal light and water. It's tough.

I meet with the dietician in march and then hopefully the wait isn't too long to get the actual surgery.

I originally went thought I would go for VSG but found myself leaning towards RNY as I was doing research.  The doctor said either would be excellent choices for me but he would reccommend RNY over VSG. Better long term results. I didn't want to have to deal with acid reflux and like the idea of a more restrictive surgery. If I am doing this - I am doing it all the way!

I also have been doing research on doing the trip to mexico if for some reason this doesn't work out or the wait is just too long. I am very much resolved to have this surgery and take back my life. I really don't have the money to pay for the surgery but if I had to I would finance it. Same thing if I need to get a tummy tuck after - I will look into mexico as well.

I am thinking of starting weight watchers this week to jump start the weight loss. i need to track my food better, my weight loss better.
