Here we go......................again!

Feb 12, 2011

Well, what a month it has been. Pretty crazy actually. Sooo many appointments, between therapist, neurologist, cardiologist, endocrinologist, and working with VESID it has been pretty insane. But I'm cool with that because I feel like my life is moving forward. It's hard making progress in this crazy life when every time you take 3 steps forward you take 2 steps back. This month is also 3 years sober for me. WOW, three freaking years. THAT is amazing. I never saw my life sober. And I can definatly say its a lot more difficult, but so worth it. So all of my appointments got canceled with Dr. O'Malley's office. Apparently they have a new process and first you must go to the surgeon seminar then meet with the NP. Well I had everything scheduled. Surgeon seminar, dietary seminar, 1 on 1 with the dietician and at that point I would have had one more 1 on 1 with the dietician in march and on to surgery...... lord willin:) BUT.. they forgot to schedule me with the NP so I had to go back and do that. Then they canceled my surgeon seminar and apparently I was still supposed to go to that so now I have to do that.  Confusing but it will all be worth it...at least thats what I tell myself. So now I have the Dietary seminar on Feb 25th. , then my 1 on 1 march 15th and April (wich also happens to be my birthday month) will be my last 1 on 1. I feel so comfortable with Dr. o'Malley's office. The staff is great with the exclusion of the dietician Kathy, whom seems to get absolutely no joy out of life whats so ever. She has got to be one of the most miserable people I have ever met. Anyways the NP is awesome. Dr. O'Malley has an amazing skill level. He's done tons of surgeries. I have heard a few numbers but the last I heard was oround 6,000 bariatric surgeries. Thats a phenomenal number. And his mortality rate is well below the .1 national average. Ya know how you just meet someone and within second you have a sense of comfort with them. That is how I feel about him removing my guts. I just feel a sense of peace about it. When I think of going somewhere else I get anxious. Well hopefully next report will be hay I lost 10 lbs and am doing great with th dietary portion of this. D.
