Half Way There

Sep 20, 2010

Well, I'm six weeks out of twelve with my classes through Kaiser.  Kaiser has been really wonderful.  I've finished most of my labs - will have an echocardiogram next week and my gallbladder  scan and chest x-ray in two weeks.  The radiologist actually called me this Sunday to schedule the x-ray and scan.  Talk about great service!  The classes have been really good for the most part.  I've learned a lot and have lost 10 pounds in six weeks.  Not stellar, but I'm happy that I'm finally going down instead of up!  I'm hoping to have my surgery mid-late November if everything continues to go as quickly as it has been.  There is a new program through Kaiser that I could have my surgery done locally with a new surgeon.  I'm a little hesitant, but it would mean having all my follow-up locally and not having to go to San Diego (about 2 hours away) for dr.'s visits.

Anyways, I'm starting to get really excited and am looking forward to my new life.  I am confident that I will be successful.  I love food, but not enough to continue to be in pain and so uncomfortable about EVERYTHING!!  I don't really think anyone will ever read this, but I will continue to post as a record for myself.  If you are reading - welcome!!:)
