Had surgery and now home, whew!
Jul 26, 2012
Home now after having my gastric bypass on Tuesday the 24th with Dr. Meyers who was an absolute angel with all the times I saw him. I was to have Dr Ceppa but I got switched I assume because I had the robot surgery and Dr Meyers is the only one qualified?
Anywho...painful and yes, I told my husband if I had to do it all over again I would not do it. Too painful. I mean I had a baby, I had a total hip replacement and I thought this surgery could in no way be worse then that....well it was. I'm just glad I'm home sucking down fluids while I type this.
My husband and daughters are angels to help me. I really think you have to have SOMEone to support you through it. I do not think I could have survived without support. Amazing this journey and I can only pray it gets better.
Movin' along...

I had my last nutritionist appt. so she said now I can expect a phone call for a final consult with Dr Ceppa and then i can be
scheduled for my surgery. Man, oh man. 2 years and counting. Will it ever end? Pray for me.

So went to see heart doc which took 3 freakin' hours, UGH. Ekg was fine, check up fine but he wants me to have a med. stress test which will be done in May. Normally I would groan and complain but hey, its nice to check out the old ticker and make sure its okay. My husband has 4 stents in his and the disease was found out on a fluke so who knows. I pray my testing will be with good results then I just move on to my last nutritionist meeting and boom, all done.
Sheesh.
Movin' right along.

i got my, yuck stool culture test kit yuck, and will do that another day...is there any other way to describe it? ....then I have another nutritionist meeting next week. I did binge this week and ate more cheerios then I should have but I'm actually proud of myself for not being a glutton on Easter. Weird. I didn't crave candy and was actually full on the ham I ate which wasn't much. Yeah for me....I think I am getting the mentality that I can have a slice of cake, just not the WHOLE cake thing. Now what took me so long?
Ugh

Big sigh. That's all I can do. After 2 setbacks due to insurance messes I am back to square one. At least all I have to do is take 3 nutrition classes and see a mental dr. but thats bad enough. I will have gone thru 9 months of nutrition classes...sheesh.
I'm doing okay otherwise. I know it will all get done and I will find a silver lining at the end of it but if it wouldn't have been for the insurance....I'd be down to goal weight and months into my new life.
