I HAVE A SURGERY DATE

Dec 27, 2007

I can't believe it.  I finally have a date and it's January 9, 2008.  I'm so excited by this new time in my life.  I will finally be able to get rid of this excess weight that's been holding me back for so many years.  Even while I type this I can't believe it is really happening.  I have been fat all my life and have truly believed that I will always be fat.  Now I have hope.  Today is December 27, 2007 and I will be having my pre-op appointment with Dr. Koura on 1-3-08 and my husband Michael will be joining me.  Dr. Koura is a firm believer of his patients having proper support.  Actually, he will not perform the operation if the patient does not have support at home.

I've very excited and will post later.

Well, yesterday (11/05/07) I called my doctor's office to see if they faxed over the information to the surgeron's office....and they did.  I called the surgeon's office and asked if they have reviewed my file and the gal said she will call me back.  She did later that day and said that I can meet with Dr. Koura and the Nutritionist on 11/29/07.  I'm so excited I can't stand it.

ON THE ROAD TO A NEW ME

Well here I am.....two weeks into the 6-mo. nutritionist diet that I have to complete before I can have the surgery (as per my insurance BSBC of CA (HMO)), and feel like I always do on a diet....hungry.  Anyway, at least I've started with the thearapist and have seen her twice and will go every other week.  I like talking about myself, I'm very interesting if I may say so myself.

Weight:  273 lbs. (as of 4/11/07 - nutritionist office)
BMI:      44

Went to the Seminar help at Methodist Hospital where I will be having my surgery.  Was very informative and was able to meet the surgern.  Very smart and funny.  Will be going to the "Group Support" meeting on 5/17/07 where I'll be getting a lot more information.

I'm a bit worried if I lose too much weight during this 6-month phase that they won't let me have the surgery so I'm kinda sabotaging myself and eating a bit too much at times......I love a large VOLUME of food and know that the Band will help with that.

Well that's all for today, talk to myself later.
