23 days left until surgery...

Jul 18, 2011

...I think!  My surgeon "Tenatively" scheduled my VSG for August, but I am afraid that he may delay the surgery date further.  The new policy at KP is to wait one year from LapBand removal to other WLS revision due to accumulated scar tissue.  When I foolishly backed out of direct conversion in February....the surgeon told me and my mother that the direct conversion to VSG was very possible, I had little scar tissue. What was funny was after surgery...I felt like my old band was still in place - Thanks to Scar Tissue ... I had restriction!
That restriction lasted about 4-6 weeks at most and now....,well no restriction.
I gained alot of weight...10% in the 5 months since band removal. I am on a "diet" now and use my BodyBugg to help track movement and track calories online. That little device really helps alot and is something I plan to keep using even after vsg surgery.
Anyway, just thought I would post that I lost 2.6 lbs and that I only have a few more weeks until I know for sure if my surgeon will give me my surgery.  I may not have KP next year and I really like them, the only downfall is that their are member hospitals so I cannot just go to any medical center unless a dire emergency.
I know I can lose 10 lbs more by the time my pre-op appointment comes around.  I know my surgeon is not going to be happy with my weight gain but hey, I am actually losing some of what I did put on since February.
