Two weeks and counting...

Dec 21, 2011

Two weeks from yesterday is the big day and the pre-op appointments just keep on coming!

Yesterday I did all of my pre-op testing (bloodwork, chest x-ray, ekg) and met the anesthesiologist.  Next I got pre-registered.  In the afternoon I went to a pre-op readiness class.  I got a binder to read through and some additional questions answered.  After it was over I talked to the nurse that led the class and realized I was supposed to see the doc before surgery (which means I should have lost 10 pounds already...oops!) and the only open day was today.

This morning I had my EGD (upper endoscopy) then met with Dr. Khaitan this afternoon.  The EGD went fine, nothing to worry about.

After an evening worrying about whether or not Dr. Khaitan would let me have the surgery because I didn't lose enough weight, I finally met with her this afternoon.  I have lost 1.1 lbs since I last saw her so at least I lost and didn't gain.  She wants me to weigh-in the Friday before surgery and as long as I am still losing we will go ahead with the surgery.  She wants me to go to an all-liquid diet after Christmas to help with the weight loss.

So, for now I am done with the pre-op stuff and just need to focus on my diet and working out.

I will be Thin by Thirty!
