Home from the seas

Hi Back from the High Seas . A little over a month before my wifes surgery.  Meet with Surgeon Next Tue. Thanks for all the support . Lots of  things I need to ask. We have a great PCP that is supporting this quest.  Enjoy the Moment Taylor

WELCOME HOME!!!!!

Welcome home, Taylor! Glad to see that you're back on dry land! Also glad to see that your PCP is supporting Linda's quest for WLS! Enquiring minds want to know who Linda's surgeon is?

Linda's surgeon will be Dr O'Rouke. We met him at the Informational Seminar that we went to over a year ago. Seemed Like a nice man he put up with my questions. I was not sold on the idea of WLS at the time. He told me I had been doing my homework.  For now we will focus on getting as much weight off to make surgery easier. We have decided that water aurobics will be the best choice for some exercise. So I will be going Swimming . A fun thing to do together.  Good to see You   As they say in Honolulu (Mahalo) for being there

Oh yes, I first met Dr. O at the first WLS info seminar of the new year 2007.  16 months later, I met him again in the pre-op unit as I was being prepped for surgery.  His hair had thinned a bit more since I last saw him.  The two of us talked about the procedure that I was to undergo.  He was very professional yet very nice to me.  He was in the OR for a brief time after I was anesthesized before Dr. D started the operation. It would be advantageous for Linda to lose some weight before her surgery to improve her chances for an excellent outcome.  I had lost 18# between my initial appt with the NP and my surgery date.  Plus, I had ramped up my protein intake in the meantime.  I believe that the weight loss and the ramping up of my protein were the reasons my own surgery went so well and I was out of surgery in 3.5 hours. Going swimming and doing water aerobics are good choices for exercise.  And so is walking. Great to see you posting too, Taylor!

Linda is unable to do much walking do to a bone spur that pushes on her Achilles tendon Bu****er aurobics are great . We just got back from an hour at the YMCA.. Linda likes the Protein Bullets 42grams of Protein.  Our tast now is to think of all the questions to ask Dr O. Have a great day Taylor
