Pre-Op Appointment

Dec 03, 2012

I'm on the last day of my two week liquid diet and I have 17 lbs gone in two weeks! That's fabulous and all, but I know I'll gain a lot of that back.  I have my appointment today with the Bariatric Nurse and the Dietician. I have no idea what to expect. I have my blood work done, my sleep study done and my two week liquid diet completed. I feel like I'm finally getting close to my surgery and after two weeks of no food, I have put serious consideration and thought into this surgery.

I asked myself a lot of questions...Am I doing this for the right reasons? Am I going to be able to go without food for basically months? I weighted out the pro's and con's and I thought a lot about life would be like after this surgery. This past weekend a 35 year old female friend of mine dropped dead of heart attack. She too was over weight and lead a poor lifestyle. All I could think is, that could of been me....

I'm more determined than ever to have this surgery and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I was really distraught over the thoughts of all that loose skin, but after careful consideration, I've decided that if the weight goes, so will the skin! I plan on getting myself a body lift after this surgery and maybe even a boob job...lol. I figure if I'm going to work hard to look good, then I'll go the extra mile and be a little selfish....a body lift it is...and that's going to be my long-term goal.  

I'm nervous and excited about my appointment today, but I'll let you all know how it goes and what it entails.

Cheers!
