We are in the home stretch...

May 08, 2015

I am down to the last 2 weeks until my surgery on May 22nd.  I met with Doctor Petrick and he does in fact do the BPD/DS surgery.  He and his assistant Doctor Chin both seemed extremely confident and Doctor Petrick was taken by surprise by how much research I had done concerning the surgery.  My one concern was the 150cm common channel as I have been told a 100cm common channel might be preferable per a Doctor Keneishan in CA.  I'm more concerned about Achieving my goal of self sustainability then about the exact science...if I have an extra 50 cm of common channel to absorb nutrients and I have to exercise a little more and maintain my partially liquid diet a little longer until I reach my goal weight then that's what I'm going to do.  My friends in Bariatric Facts will say I'm abusing my body and Doctor Cox will probably be annoyed at me but I'm comfortable with what I have been doing so far, so I intend to see it through.  I have lost 60 pounds so far without the WLS so I'm sure with the WLS I will be very successful.
