Pre-op doctor's visit.....

Today was the day I went to the doctor's office and the hospital to take care of my pre-op paper work and tests. I did not see the doctor, I guess I did not need to. Wife was confussed about that. Then we went to University Hospital for my tests. It went great there. We were are the doctor's office at 12:40 and left the hospital at 3:23. Most of the time was at the doctor's office talking with the surgical coordinator.

16 days and counting.

Time is flying ....

That's right, time is going by so fast I don't know if I will get everything done that I want to. The bad thing I have started gaining weight, just like every time before. That is why I am having the surgery.

Tomorrow is my pre-op doctor's visit. Get to have fun doing paper work and any other test they can think of done to me.

Liquid diet starts Friday. Hope I get some more direction on what I can have on a liquid diet. All I know is five protein shakes a day. Hoping to be able to have other things like broth and SF Popsicles.

Let's try again...

Well I did not have my surgery on September 30th like first planned. I chickened out, but there were other issues I had to resolve. But now I have a new surgery date, November 14th, and I am ready for it to be done. I start my liquid diet on October 31st. I have been eating too much and gaining weight. I think I have gained about 10-15 pounds. My new clothes are tight.

Wednesday, October 29th I go for my pre-op visit and tests. Got a call last week telling me about a $274 surgery deposit. No problem. Just want it over with. Also this time I recieved a letter from the doctor's office telling me what to expect between now and after the surgery. Go data that I shared with my co-workers who are going to have the Lap Band this year.

The only problem with my surgery date is it is on a Friday. So I hope I do not have problems with weekend doctor support.

More to come............
