WLS Seminar
Apr 20, 2010
I went to the Weight Loss Surgery seminar today with my mother. It was really great to hear a lot of the things that I had already researched validated today. I am definitely going to go forward with trying to get the gastric bypass surgery. I have an appointment for an initial consultation with my surgeon on 05/18. I also completed the on-line medical questionnaire from heck. Who knew that I would need to know the first time I was diagnosed with sinus issues and when I first when on birth control? I keep pretty good records, but not that great. Anyway, my mother and I talked about the seminar afterwards and she said that she had no issues with me having the surgery itself. What she worries about is that I don't like following directions that other people give me. I honestly believe that with the surgery I have no other choice, but to follow the plan or get sick. She is supportive, but knows that if I fail there is nothing that she can do to help me. Perhaps it is time that we both learn she can't fix all of my mistakes or make me not make any mistakes.
