Starting a new phase in my life
Dec 08, 2009
This is my first blog post here or any where, but I figure it is a good place to start...I have now passed the last hurdle for my RNY surgery!!!
First I had to get my diabetes under control (a long and painful process). Then get a letter of medical necessity from my doctor, prove a 5 year history of morbid obesity, and see a shrink and a dietician. Finally, I had to get the gastric-bypass clearance, then pulmonary clearance, and see a cardiologist (who put me on high-blood pressure medicine).
After all of this (which took a year and a half), my doctor tells me I need to lose 14 lbs before surgery or it is a no go. He states this on Nov 19, and my surgery is scheduled for Dec 16. On his advice, I go HARD low-carb to lose the weight a quickly as possible.
As of my weigh in yesterday, I have lost 18 lbs! This means I'm a go for surgery next Wednesday!!!
