My journey to this weight started with getting pregnant with my son 22 years ago. Prior to that time I was normal weight and in great physical shape. On the day my son was born I was 305lbs. I started at 104lbs during the last 21 years I have been on every diet imaginable. I was even on phen fen which brought me down to 145 until the power's to be took it off the market. Since that time, I have progressively gained all the weight back on until I reached 269 lbs. In May on 2007, I went to Dr Sandor's Q&A session for WLS. I have gone to the entire test necessary to qualify for surgery. On 8/24 (by the way that my birthday), I will meet with my surgeon and discuss insurance approval and possible dates for my surgery.
I have been trying to lose weight before I go on the 14-day liquid wonder diet. But I have been challenged. Heck, if I could lose the weight like this why would I need the surgery?
I 've gone thru my Primary doctor and the heart doctor and the lung doctor had tons of blood work and a sleep study.
I have joined a gym that has special classes for post op Bariatric patients. What a find! The program is ran by and RN.
So I am now waiting until friday
go okay friday came and went.. I need to go to another cadio dr to get another clearance letter since they would not take beth isreals test results.
I also have sleep apnea and await the results of the second sleep study.
So I meet with dr sandor.4pm on 9/20 hopefully to get all the paperwork in order and to get insurance approval.
still waiting. I have only lost 2 lbs so i am not sure if I can lose the rest of the 10lb by 20th sounds ... tough.
Okay lost enough for the doctor... Date of surgery is 10/22.
