I've Got A Date!
Jul 24, 2010
Well, that was really fast! I went to my second appointment with my surgeon on July 22nd, I gave them everything they asked for and more, I was mandated to attend 2 support groups and I went to four. I'm like that, a total psychotic perfectionist, a person that extremely follows direction, stays organized and punctual to everything, it's really annoying but I feel anxious if I'm not that way. Well I knew I was going to get a surgery date but I didn't expect it to be so soon. The nutritionist saw me and went through my nutritional assessment and though my psychological evaluation for which I had to pay $300! cash because they hired their own psychologists and they don't accept any insurance...fishy, but whatever. Then I had to see the nurse who always takes the place of the doctor because he is never there, so in this clinic you always speak to this nurse, she goes through all the surgery options with you, everything is done by this nurse not the doctor, sometimes by the nutritionist or another helping doctor...if you are lucky enough you will get to see the actual doctor before the surgery, but chances are you will get to meet him the day of your surgery. I saw him once, he said hello but that was it, what I liked about him is that he is always smiling, for some reason he always seems happy.Well the nurse told me that my vitamin D, and vitamin B1 was low and that I have a bacteria in my stomach that causes gastritis and acid reflux, she gave me a prescription for vitamin D...50, 000 units weekly in the form of a small soft gel capsule! And a Prevpac kit for the bacteria. She gave me a B1 injection which hurt soooooo much! And then I was ready to set a date...August 5th!!!!! WOW! That was quick! I'm really happy. On Monday I have to go for my Pre-Op testing and nutritional class at 7:30 in the morning! I have 12 days exactly to get ready...but I am really excited!!!!....
