Update and 1st NSV and have not even have surgery yet!!
Happy Friday VSGers!
Just an update on where I am in the Kaiser process:
Weight Loss Surgery Seminar: Completed 6/1/11
Bariatric Orientation: Completed 7/1/11
Nutritionist Appointment: Completed and cleared 7/8/11
Mental Health appointment: Completed and Cleared 7/11/11
Still to go:
Bariatric Class and Meeting with Surgeon: 8/11/11
Any other medical tests that the Doctor may require
Need to loose between 5% and 10% of weight (currently at 4.5%)
I have less than three weeks before my appointment with the surgeon. I am hoping to loose another 7 pounds by then. This will put me at 7% lost. My hope is if I can do this then the surgeon will approve me and give a date for my VSG! I am praying this is what will happen!!
The thing i am having the most difficulty with is the pre-op diet (1100-1200 calories, high protein and low carbs/fat diet) but I am proud to say I am down about 15 pounds and have lost 9.5 inches!! I am feeling a lot better and my self confidence is rising. Today I was able to fit in a pair of jeans that I had not worn in months because they were too tight!! Yay for me! My first NSV and I have not even have the surgery yet!
I am so excited to be on this journey and am looking forward to having the sleeve and living my life!
Have a great weekend Everyone!!
