Referal Made

Jun 23, 2011

I met with Dr. E today and she is totally supportive with my decision to have laproscopic roux en y surgery.  As I had seen Dr. Dent a few years ago, when he was not willing to do a lap band on me because of the low chance of sucess with them, she sent my referral directly to the surgeon, Dr. Mamazza.  I asked her if there were any tests I could do ahead of time to cut down on the tremendously long wait for surgery.  She is sending me for the EKG and a lot of the preliminary blood work that needs to be done, and she will send it over to the surgeon when she receives the results.

I have tried for so many years to lose weight on my own, and have made no significant progress.  I even paid an arm and a leg for a personal trainer for almost a year, and I lost 30 pounds, just to turn around and gain it all back in the following year.  FRUSTRATING!!!

I am so tired of feeling this way.  I am so lathargic, and feel bloated most of the time.  My back hurst a lot and my knees suffer under all this weight.  I sleep with the darn CPAP machine all the time because of my sleep apnea.  I can't stand to look in the mirror and feel like a complete FAILURE as a person.

I am sooooo looking forward to this surgical tool to assist me in my journey.  I actually feel that there is hope that I will feel normal again.  Of course, it has been so long since I have been a normal weight, that I don't know how that actually feels, I just have to imagine.
