Third trip to UAB
Jul 01, 2009
On Monday 6/29/09, had meeting with the nutritionist. All went well and was very informative. I was given lots of pointers on how to begin eating in a healthy manner pre-op as well as post-op. As a result of this I have now begun to start purchasing my protein needs and supplies as well as gathering suitable recipes. Two hours after nutritionist meeting, I attended my first bariatric support group. I was amazed and overwhelmed by the welcome and warmth which I received from the members in this group. I found this experience to be so fulfilling in every way possible. It was informative, inviting, entertaining, encouraging, and so much more. I can see building lasting friendships with a great many of the members there. Tuesday 6/30/09 I had my appointment with the lung and sleep center to prepare for my sleep study which will be done on tonight 7/02/09 starting at 7:00 PM. I am a bit nervous about it but I guess the worst thing that can become of it is that I'll get a good nights sleep,
LOL. As time goes on I find myself more and more ready to get all of this out of the way, get my approval from insurance, and get a surgery date. I ask you all to continue to pray for me as I do for us all each day, and again I will keep updating as I tackle one obstacle at a time. Thanks all and God bless!
