God is Soo Merciful!!!!

Nov 21, 2011

Well everyone, I did it. I lost another 5 lbs. That brings me to a grand total of 76lbs. lost preop. I started at a weight of 438lbs. and today I weigh 362lbs. I have 31 more days until my surgery and I hope to be down another 24lbs. by then. As I stated last week, I started using Optifast, but have recently taken a break from it. For the next four weeks I will engage in a all liquid diet. Hopefully this will help me.

I went to see my surgeon today because the last time I saw him I was considering a sleeve,but now I want the Gastric Bypass. My surgeon was excited about my weight loss and said he saw no problem with me having the Gastric Bypass as opposed to the sleeve. I asked him if I needed to lose any more weight and he said that I did not. He said the amount of weight I have lost has helped to shrink my liver and decrease the circumference of my stomach. Since he has approved the Gastric Bypass, now the surgery scheduler that tentatively scheduled my surgery for December 22nd can submit all of my paper work to the insurance company for approval.
