Soooooo excited

I'm so excited.. could you tell?! Cardio has released me & I have talked to Dr. Harris's office. He will be gone for a week in March & naturally he won't perform surgery the week before he goes. We are going to try for middle of March date for surgery I'm also finished with re-hab BUT I'm still going out to the school to walk. The arthritis bites pretty bad in the hip so just take it easy. I also wanted to share this with everyone, my cardio doc is behind me 500% on gastric bypass! He said that is probably the best thing I could do for myself, hugs for Dr. Zajec for being so supportive I would like to think there were more in the medical field that could be or are as supportive of their patients. Most important thanks to everyone here that has been so supportive it means a lot to me....Big Hugs....Carolyn

I am excited for you. this is great. the time will pass quickly and while you wait, you will just keep getting stronger. the dietian at Grinnell says to load up on protein before surgery, it will help you heal.

Thanks for the protein info Bev. I've been taking the Flinstones since Nov. & going for B12 shots also. Going to add some zinc or can you tell me is there an all in 1 vitamin I could take? I sit here & look at my basket of meds, I take 12 in the morning plus now insulin shot & 5 pills at night plus more insulin & think & PRAY most of all that I can leave all this behind me after surgery! Not to mention maybe leave some weight behind also...lol. Read about your dumping incident, please take it easy Thanks again Carolyn
