My name is Jacqueline, Jac for short. I’ll be 30 years old next month. It’s time I start getting my life together.
late april of 2013. my doctor and I talk about my getting gastic bypass, for three reasons. the main reason is to bypass the portion of my stomach producing to much acid. the other two reasons is to help balance my hormones and of course weightloss.
my time line is as follows:
late April 2013: my doctor sent my information to the Ontario bariatric registry
July 11, 2013: Orientation Class
August 29, 2013: Nurse consult
September 17, 2013: Clinical social work consult, Nutrition class
November 1, 2013: Doctor’s clinical examination
January 22, 2014: Registered dietitian consult
February 7, 2014: Clinical social work follow-up, Doctor’s clinical follow-up
May 22, 2014: Surgery Education class
August 22, 2014: Surgical consult— also got my date, and did my Per-op testing (saw the: nurse, pharmacist, did blood work, EKG, anesthesiologist, and a ton of paper work) also picked up my Opti/liquid diet
August 23, 2014: Started Opti (only on it for 10days yay)
SEPTEMBER 2nd, 2014 @2:00pm: SURGERY DATE
Starting weight: 250lbs
Day of starting Opti: 210lbs
I’m on the lower end of the weight spectrum for surgery but I am also only 5’1.
after a horrible break up, with the person I thought i’d spend forever with, after five and a half years, to be treated the way I was. I am happy this all is coming around.
I am moving at the end of the month, then I have surgery, and then my 30th birthday a few weeks after (September 16), everything is a new beginning and I am blessed to have everything working out. I know good things and the love of my life are all coming my way.
