One Step Closer........
Well I FINALLY got the sign off from the nutritionist this morning! It took 3 trips but its done.
Dr. Aranow wanted me to loose 10 pounds before surgery, well as of this morning I lost 15 pounds.
I'm wondering, could this count as a pre-op fart? All I have left is a stress test this thursday and as soon as they get the report, its off to the insurance company. Since I work for the state, approval is a given. I still have 2 more support groups at the hospital to attend, but they told me by the time approval comes back, I'll have those completed. I started this journey 23 months ago and its finally coming true. It just shows if you want something bad enough, dreams can come true.

Rich...I empathzie with you lad....it took me almost a year to "get" my own WLS, and that's using our OHIP govt bureau to pay a NY state surgeon....and that wait seemed like forever.
But....was it ever ever worth it! I'm down 195 lbs and have like the energy of a 25 year old....and the smile on my spouse's face is SURELY worth the wait!!!
You'll be over here on the postOp side of the Locker Room soon....and we've all made space for you too!
