Getting Closer - it truly is a roller coaster ride!

Jul 08, 2009

Well, I have officially graduated!  On Monday, July 6th, I completed my 6-month dieting requirement.  It seems like it took forever, but the 6 months is finally up!  The past 3 weeks have been exciting as well.  I finally completed my re-scheduled psych eval on June 23rd.  So, all of my pre-op testing has been completed.  Also, on the Pittsburgh WLS Group on Yahoo!, I discovered that Dr. John Means, my surgeon, has left Pittsburgh Bariatrics and the continential U.S.!  He apparently had a birthday and decided that he was young, unmarried, and working too hard and moved o Alaska!  I didn't get a letter or anything notificaion in the mail or by phone! I was grateful for that online group!  Anyway, I dicussed it with Abby at Pittsburgh Bariatrics and I will get moved over to Dr. Quinlian whom I have never even met.  It will be interesting!  I went to the Pittsburgh Bariatrics Support Group on June 30th in order to attend their protein and supplement fair.  I tasted a lot of different products and was able to take a few home as well.  The next day I got a message from the support group stating that I had won their door prize! It is a basket filled with bottle of supplements, protein shakes, vitamin water, a water bottle, Splenda, a Pittsburgh Bariatrics T-Shirt and lots of other goodies!  I was so excited - I never win anything!  I interpret all of these good omens as signs that my WLS was the right decision and is meant to be.  I just have to wait to hear from the office in the next couple weeks regarding a surgery date (YEAH!)
