Nov 30, 2009

Next step....check.  Just got back from my mandatory nutrition and exercise class at the bariatric center.  So much info.  So much I already knew from the time I've spent on OH...and so many more good reminders about the realities of the RNY.  I'm still a bit bummed & cranky about the DS issue and having to switch horses...but my mind is made up now.  No band or sleeve for me.  RNY all the way.  Next step?  [And I still can't believe it] Sit-down with the surgeon on 12/3.  After all of this time -- these YEARS...I'll finally talk with a surgeon about wls.  The patient educator who did the training today said the thumbs up for surgery will come from this next meeting with the doc.  And then (of course) approval/disapproval by Medicare.  Somebody pinch me.  I can't believe this is really happening.  My head is a mess.  So many thoughts racing around.  Hopes and doubts.  December 3rd...8am.  Can't come fast enough for me.
