kinda quiet around here
tomorrow i go see the surgeon, i am so afraid that after everything i have been
through that he will tell me no, i can’t have the surgery. i have gone through
every hoop set before me, and i do appreciate that he is through. he had said he
wanted my doctor and the shrink to write letters for him. my doctor has done
this and then the surgeon called him and basically said it was up to the shrink
whether or not i get to have it. now the shrink mind you is making med changes
and wants another 6 weeks at least to decide what he wants to do. they have to
know this is something i am very serious about, i’ve stayed with it for a long
time now, i first filled out the paper work in feb. and its now oct. we are
probably looking at a november or december surgery date as it is, unless he says
yes tomorrow.
on the good thing, i have lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks, and have no idea how.
unless it is the med changes that are doing it. who knows i’m just glad to see
them gone, and i am hoping much much more of it will one day be gone too.
as always,
julie

thanks for letting me vent

Get another shrink…..find doctors that will work with you and as
fast as they can. Hi, Im Andy. I started the process in Dec. of
2003. I was one of the lucky ones that had little problems with
insurance or doctors. Some in my other support group have had
problems expecually with pcps and have fired them and gone to
others. I had open rny on May, 25, 2004. I have lost 90 pounds so
far and 8 inches in my waist. I have more energy than I have ever
had and cannot remember when I wore size 46 pants. I still have
about 100 pounds to go and my weight loss is slowing a little. My
BMI is down and my %fat is dropping like a rock and my %muscle is
building. I now go to a gym 3 times a week and love it. I have had
very few problems with or after the surgery. I am an active member
of my surgions support group and one of the cheerleaders. If you or
anyone have any questions, shoot me a line.
