Feeling a bit nervous today

May 22, 2013

Well today I go back to the social worker for an unexpected visit. She met with the surgeons last week in rounds and now they want her to talk to me about some things that came up in the meeting.  She told the surgery is still a go but I wonder what she needs to talk about.  I had already been cleared by her.  So, hopefully it will go ok.  I guess I will know a 3 pm this afternoon.

  (that's what my head feels like..lol)

Patiently waiting

May 15, 2013

Today I called the clinic to find out what happens next in my process towards surgery.  I have been to see everyone but the surgeon. I was told that now that everything else is done I have to wait for the review of my file and then I will get a phone call.  I also asked about my food journal to see if I need to continue it.  They said no but I think I will anyway.  I have been doing it for a year and it has become habit now.  It also keeps me on track with my eating habits.  So hopefully I will hear something soon but I wish I had my post op class booked and an appointment with the surgeon. I guess patience is a virtue....but i don't feel very virtuous right now...lol. no

Well, i went to the internist today to see Dr. Agarwal.  He was very nice and took his time with me during the appointment.  I am a bit iron deficient pre-surgery so I have to take extra iron before surgery to build up my iron.  I will also be on blood thinners 4 weeks after surgery due to a blood disorder.  Other than that...onward I go.  Waiting for a call regarding the surgeon appointment...but I am sure that will come soon enough

Well, I was called today about my internist appointment.  It is May 7, 2013.  His name is Dr. Agarwal.  Looking forward to the appointment very much.  In the city where I live it takes a few weeks just to get a call with an appointment let alone the appointment itself...I am impressed with the speed in which it was made by the Guelph Clinic.

I had my final appointments with the RD, RN and SW yesterday.  So glad to have the final approval for my surgery. I am feeling excited and nervous.  I will be hearing about appointments for the surgeon and internist anytime.  It looks like my surgery will be about September...which is nice because my daughter will be at school.

I am 45 years old ,,,turning 46 this summer.  I was referred for the surgery Feb. of 2012.  It was Nov. 29th when I went to the first seminar.  It was a bit crazy because my initial referral was lost so there was a lot of last minute rearranging to do.  I had started working with a dietition on my own May of 2012 and have lost 40lbs since then.... but it has been a struggle.  I saw the Nurse, Dietition and Social Worker on Feb 13 of this year.  I have my second appointment the end of this week... April 26, 2013.  I am looking forward to the appointments and hope all goes well.
