Behavioral Mod Class, EGD, and a DATE!
Sep 02, 2009
Been a while!The behavioral modification class wasn't an enlightening experience or anything. It was worth the reinforcement, I guess. I don't have much to say about it. As for the endoscopy, it was a really weird experience! Anesthesia is scary stuff. RNY will be my first surgery and my third time undergoing anesthesia; my first time was for my wisdom teeth back in 2007.
I don't remember anything after they stuck some tubes up my nose. All in all, it didn't take up as much of my day as I thought it would and they let me know that everything looked fine.
That was back on August 6th, by the way. Haha. I've been really lazy and haven't updated as regularly as I meant to from the beginning.
So I waited until last week to be contacted with a surgery date!
October 22, 2009!
I'm relieved to finally have the surgery 'in sight', so to speak. I've been to the Vitamin Shoppe across from the hospital. The employees were spoken to by Dr. Lord, and I got to take home a sample of the Nectar protein supplement and a grocery list for WLS patients. They were really nice, and I am stoked about the FREE rewards program they have. It's a pretty decent system, and I expect that I'll be returning to purchase my supplements, so I'm happy about that.
For anyone who is local, please get in touch with me if you're interested in starting an independent support group. I have yet to go to a support group on the 1st Tuesday (I meant to go this time around but I forgot!), but I want to be able to attend these and hopefully make some local friends who I can get together with a few times a month.
I posted an ad on the Pensacola Craigslist, so if you want to read more about it, please check this out!

I really look forward to my new life and want all the support I can get!
