Feeling alot better, moving well and enjoying my walks. Hate the sagging skin and spoke with Dr about referral which he says he will sign 1 year after surgery date. Need to lose as much as I can by then. Wish me luck.155 lost since orientation, 129 since my DS in Feb.

I am sitting here watching the clock as it slowly takes me through another day. All I can do now is wait for time to pass and for Kaiser to send the requested results. One thing I know is I need to make sure this waiting game does not lead me to bad eating habits. I started pumping in the vitamins and reading the info sent from surgeons staff. I feel ready and can hardly wait.

Things are moving along at a fast pace after what seemed to be a four year stall. I am so excited after getting the news today, Now I need to wait on afew test results and see the surgeon b4 the final GO. Wish me luck surgery may happen within 2 months of my request to the Kaiser Bariatric Dept.

Dr. appointment and new psych eval scheduled for after the holidays. Feeling a lil nervous but ready for the possible change. Not sure how to update my surgeon on profile page but now with Dr. Rabkin in San Francisco. Hopefully more news to follow.

 I have a phone appointment on 12-19 and hopefully an office visit to follow if things go well.

Seems like my preop weight loss will take forever.I have no intention on giving up but I must admit I feel a little down at times.With my surgery weight goal still being so far away,I am finding it harder to find things and people to help motivate me.On the positive side I have lost 40 lbs since my orientation and I feel and move alot better.If I reach my preop goal, I will have lost 100+ lbs.I will keep on trying to get there no matter how many speed bumps appear in my path.I just wanted to write a lil something to look back at when I get a lil further down the road.Hopefully after my eye surgery 2morrow I can get excited about gym workouts and about this weight loss journey.

Help me reach my goal weight with advice,motivation and a following of supporting friends.Need to lose 40 to see the surgeon again.My plan is to hopefully continue to update my progess to any1 that is intrested and that in return will help motivate myself to do better.I have a diet plan and joined a gym and use the treadmill.Motivation is low at times and could use a few words of support from time to time.Please welcome me to this site with kind words and friendship requests.I will be trying hard to succeed.TY in advance for any support and advice.
