New Surgeon Appointment

Jan 23, 2015

If you're playing along at home, We are coming up on 3 years from my original referral.

I am now assigned my 3rd surgeon. Hopefully this one is it! 

I got the metal allergy testing done that the last surgeon asked me to do. Turns out I have a severe nickel allergy that masked itself as an allergy to titanium dioxide (which often contains nickel in it). I went and got the requisition for the test the same day as I met the last surgeon. It took the hospital another month and a half plus three phone calls to tell me the results. They had the results for a full month but nobody knew to call me, I guess? So I am yet again cleared, that is the good news.

The bad news is that between being a little depressed and it being the holidays, I did manage to put on a few lbs as I was very sluggish and not watching my diet the last month. I am back up to over 300 again. BLURGH. 

I go in to meet the surgeon (attempt 2) on Feb 6. First one was on Dec 5, 2014. There I will sign off on surgery and get a date. I've already been back to the gym twice this week and hope to squeeze it in 3-4 times per week moving forward. I've been back on track with healthy eating as well, for the most part. My holiday to Mexico in the end of Feb will be my "last hurrah" but I don't plan on going overboard just a few treats here and there.

WISH ME LUCK PALS!
