The Re-Start

May 11, 2010

Here it is almost a year later.  I'm 31, and as of today I weigh 296.  I was a little lower a few months ago, and I'm not surprised that I'm up right now.  With a week away, and not the best food choices, and of course my monthly prize.

I had a doctor's appointment today and discussed weight loss with the doctor again.  I told him that I had already seen a dietician about 6 years ago, and had already tried Xenical (he put me on it).  While on the Xenical, I lost 13 pounds.  And I didn't remember to take the pill most of the time.  When I stopped it, I lost another 13 pounds, and have wavered around that weight mark since.  He asked me if I wanted to look into a procedure and I said that I did.  I gave him the print out from the registry site, which gives the address/numbers to send in the referral.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to get a VSG(?), as I need to take narcotics to help with my fibromyalgia.

On our recent trip away, I was only about 1 hour north of the Barix clinic in MI, but didn't have the time or the extra gas money to go there.  We go back at least once in June (maybe twice) and I may make that trip then.
