Excellent!!!!

 As most know I'm out and back to work on a limited basis.  The recovery is slow and day to day but I'm sure I will get there. First day back was strange, felt ok but worried about bm's. Thankfully it was a short day and got out after just a few hours.  Gotta get that under control.

 Had surgery over 1.5 mos ago. Been stuck in hospital ever since. Trying to get out I took a stand tonight and said "no more" I am leaving soon.  Doc says I'm out by Wednesday anyway but I am determined to get out by Monday.  Too tired of being patient. Anyone considering DS PLEASE BE CAREFUL.  Not saying I won't be pleased one day but for now I'm full of regret for having it done.  My dr is Dr. Marek Lutryzkowski out of Michigan.

 My initial elation has given way to fear and misery.  I am stuck in the hospital because I can't pass gas.  I got into an Argurment with the hospital staff and I have seemingly permanent case of hiccups.  They performed a ct and see a partial obstruction (of what they didn't say) the doctor said he might reinsert an ng tube to remove the obstruction.  Sounds painful but I hope they will knock me out first.

 In ICU after surgery, full of tubes, full of pain, full of hope and full of determination. It hurts so good.

 I mean literally a day.  A short 24 hours after I heard from my doctors office saying the surgery was off due to insurance complications and that it would take at least 2 weeks but  recently heard from the doctor's office that my surgery was approved by my insurance company.  So in 4 days I will be on the slab losing the flab.

 My surgery scheduled for Tuesday August 21st had to be rescheduled due to my insurance company not giving my doctor's office complete information. So I am in a holding pattern waiting for them to coordinate everything.  At least I'm still in contention so I won't get negative about this roadblock I will just remain patient and await final approval.

Had my last pre-surgical consult with Dr. L today.  What he said actually scared me a bit and I'm no easy scare but then he told me how rare the most deadly complications are and that calmed me plus I have to do this.  Nothing else has worked and I must conquer this disease.  I have  been scheduled for August 21st 2012 surgery with Dr. Marek Lutryzkowski.  Just over a week to go.... Assembling the supplies I will need for after, namely the vitamins and protien supplements, as well as food supplies.

It's almost time.  I have been going to Beaumont Weightloss Center's for 5 mos to satify the 6 mos medical supervision as well as the other requirements, pysh, etc...  I have lost almost 30 pounds, the bad part is that I gained twenty before I started the center so I am only really down 10 lbs.  I am about to start the Bettermd vlcd to try to knock off a good 30 to 40 more before the surgery.  The reason is that I want to lose as much as possible after the surgery so the less I weigh before the less I will weigh after.  My dream weight is 150 which is correct for my height, my ideal weight is 175 which isn't bad, my settle for it weight is 180-200 lbs. 

I recently got on an airplane for the first time in well over 15 years and what a squeeze it was.  Actually I quit flying because I thought I would have to buy 2 seats but I fit the seat but the belt wouldn't close.  I oozed into the next seat just a little but the plane wasn't full so no 2nd seat purchase was required.

I can't wait unti after the surgery when I can comfortably fit into one seat with the belt closed.....now if we could get tsa to be that comfortable.
