I'm on my way....

to a new healthy lifestyle. I met with Dr. Rosenthal of the Cleveland Clinic on October 30. He thinks I am a great candidate for GB and I am so excited for the future to come. So far I have had an EKG, Gallbladder Ultrasound, Upper GI, Chest Xray, and a Pulmonary Function test. I will have my psychiatric eval and manadatory nutrional counseling on December 12 and then I should be good to go for my surgery. I am planning for a February surgery date. I cannot wait to change my life. I feel that my life will take on a whole new meaning. I wiill become the woman I have always wanted to be. My weight will no longer control me and the decisions I make. Only a few more months of living in the shadow of my true self. I can't wait!!! -Lisa-

Lisa- Good luck to you.  I hope it all works out.   Red

Lisa, great news.  Dr. Rosenthal is the best, and you cant beat Cleveland Clinic, very nice hospital.  I had my surgery with Dr. R. on 4/10/06, and would do it all over again.  Good luck to you, and keep us abreast of your progress.  Be well. John

Lisa, Good luck. You sound like you will be very successful with WLS. You have a wonderfully positive attitude. You will not regret it. It has changed my life. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Keep us posted as you go through your journey to the loosing side. Liz

That's the spirit!!
