Appointment

The appointment went well and I am moving forward!  Doctor is writing letter of medical nessecity and then off to BC for approval.  I hope to have approval by end of next week at the earliest.  Thats me being hopeful.  Then surgery by the end of the year if I cross my fingers just right. 

Its funny the doctor told me today, "I bet the only way you have kept your weight under control is my huge amounts of exercise.  If you stop that you are going to balloon up like crazy!"  Which is exactly why I decided to start this.  I know my body wont allow me to play extreme sports forever, especially at this weight.  So I was so concerned about what would happen when I didnt work out 20-30 hours a week if I stay this big now.  

I feel so much better that he came to the same conclusion I did.  I was second guessing my own logic in my head.   Wondering if I had really tried everything there was without the surgery.  Whew.  I feel better.  

Preop appointment on Tuesday for 2 hour teaching class on how to live your life after, and what to do to get ready for RNY.  Its so close I can touch it!!!

Great news Barb. Sounds like you and your surgeon are on the same page which is so very important. It won't be long now...

That is exciting!!!  Now the key to all of this is patience!!  I know it will feel like forever!!

Isn't it nice when your doctor is on board???  My PCP was not, until I lost my weight.  Now, she has even recommended WLS to a few of her other patients.  She told me she owes that to me.

Crossing my fingers for you.

Glad it went well. Hope it keeps going quickly after all you've already been through.
