Brandi - how about an update?

I was just reading past posts and saw where you were supposed to go through some prelim's last week. How did all that go? I would respond on your thread but I figured it was so old by now that it was worth posting a new one on it. Dina

Aww! Thankx for thinking of me, you sooo totally rock! My update is posted on my profile, but to sum up...things went well, it was a stressful time, because I kept thinking they would take one look at me and say no. For what reason?? I have no clue! LOL! But it was great, the shrink cleared me for surgery, he was really great, we just chatted about my life and whatnot. Dr. Poole was really down to earth and friendly, as were the dietician and the physical therapist. I set a lot of goals and I am now on my pre-op diet and doing well, I am expected to loose about 15lbs. My offical start weight is 320. It's tough while I am still in school. But I only have 3 weeks left and then 6 months off! WHOOHOOO! Then I will be able to give 100%. Right now, it's tough to eat right when I leave for work at 3am and don't get home some nights til 9. yuck! I am waiting for my pre-op consult apt and the pre-op class apt, they should be calling me this week for that. I am sooo EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel soo close now!!!!! Brandi

That is wonderful news! I know thinking about going for a psych eval made me wonder if I'd pass too... too neurotic over the years I guess! But thankfully I didn't have to jump through that hoop since I went to Mexico. Either way I see now that it wouldn't have been a big deal....but it seemed like just another hitch that could kink up my hose along the way at the time. Dina
