Bariatric Advantage

So, I have taken my first giant leap towards bariatric surgery!

Yesterday was my pre-op visit at Dr. Scott's office. I sat with Ginger, the bariatric coordinator for a while and we discussed me pre-operative eating regimen and post-operative as well. She also said that Amy, the coordinator for Floyd, would be giving me a call to schedule my pre-admission appointment. (So exciting!) I had very few questions, so I went on to the little room and waited for the PA, Jason, so come in. I had a ton of papers to go through and initial that had all of the possible risks and possible additional things that could happen with surgery and so on and so forth. Very scary. But he was SO nice and Lauren is certain that despite the fact that he's married, he will be the father of her children, haha!

Anyhow, he went through the whole procedure, step by step, exactly what I would be doing on Monday, through the whole day, Tuesday, and Wednesday. It was extremely professional and helpful. I am extremely excited and nervous... he said I would have two IVs and a catheter cause they want me to walk as much as possible. Ahhh!!!!! I've never had surgery before, so, basically, I'm terrified. BUT SO EXCITED! I want it to be here now!

I have started these protein shake meal replacements.. they are not appetizing in the least, but, you do what you gotta do, right?

So, that's the update for now. I've got to start getting some exercise in, as well, as soon as possible.
