Anyone use Dr. Fitzer at Virginia Bariatric?
Well I do and I don't, I did have a date of February 15th,then I was told I'd have to have another test an upper g.I. with contrast medium. That was moving along and then another snafu, this one's potentially bigger, my case is being reviewed by the Bariatric Care team Tuesday, one of my evaluations came back faulty. i know I'm not making sense but I'll be able to talk more and explain Wednesday. Right now it looks insurmountable but maybe I'm too close to the problem to give an objective opinion. Promise I will explain in greater detail, but in the meantime prayers would not be out of place.

2 week liquid diet
Mine is not so,much worried about last minute forced weight loss with a liquid diet, he'd rather we have a balanced,low carb diet immediately prior to surgery. Surprised me too, I thought he would want the liver shrunk and the bowels relatively clear of fecal junk. Well you know what they say about assume my friends.

Pre-Op Journey Fears
Yeah I think it's a common one, we've ALL heard "you need t o exercise more, push yourself away from the table" and one of my personal favorites." You're not trying". Walk in my stretched out shoes a little ways. My PCP put me on a weightloss drug last October, I GAINED weight. He agreed with what i had been saying -'I needed Bariatric surgery, wrote a letter of recommendation for me to give to my surgeon at the first visit. He is still one of my biggest supporters on my weight loss journey, wants to,be kept updated. I will be having a RnY early-mid March at Mount Carmel in Columbus Ohio at the tender age of 72. But I'm going to make a success of tjis, it is my last best hope for the future. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

February Blahs...
Mrs Ganges happy to hear about PLOM disease, wonder it is caused by the same virus as my WhyMe-itis? Everybody else has their surgery dates, evernoxy is getting their operation. What have I done to deserve this? Why Me? Even Fluffy Chix has hers, i know she's been waiting nearly a year but,.I'm a tad jelly about now. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Little Green getting little(r)
I'm sorry Little Green but snicker snicker you're more likely gonna be my surgery twin instead of Fluffy Chix. I'm not much closer than yesterday, it's 10:50am, if I haven't heard from the surgeon's office by this afternoon and find out whether I'm any closer to having the verdompt testing done. Joy cometh in the morning but the flippin Sun's been up for hours. Stay easy Stay breezy and don't let life get any more sleazy. Don't start holding your breath and turn purple, I like you better Green. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

wieght loss after pregnancy
Some of this may be preachin to the choir but here goes. When you have the time, walk. Even if it's only to the fenceline walk. Take your little guy with you, the fresh air will do both of you good. If the weather is good enough take a blanket and toys along and,set him play outside with you.This time of the year we can get the house blahs, it's currently winter in Central Ohio and we have 4+ inches of snow. I have had 2 knee replacements, I'm not going out in the ice and snow, if I fall which knee do I sacrifice? Are you eating a balanced diet? As a mommy it's easy to let yourself go, grab something quick instead something good for you. And fast food is still out there, rearing its ugly head and singing its siren song " hey baby I'm over here EAT me". Are you getting enough fluids? Remember your kidneys are 1 of the body's cleaning systems. I wish I was back in the country, you miss things when you,live in town. You can watch spring and all the other seasons change around you. There's beauty in each of them. You're raising your little guy where the air is clean, there's room to stretch and grow. You'll be teaching him how to fish, ride a bike, ride a horse and before you know it " Mom I want to join 4H or be in the FAA and raise myself a steer" then he'll be exhibiting at the county fair and you'll be so proud. I resided 2 fine boys and1 girl. Time flies while you're living life. You gave him a fine start in life nursing but now your body is back to being your own. Do your best to stat lean and fit, it's easier to chase a toddler if you can keep up with him. I know you're a good mom but he deserves to have you around to watch him grow up. I hope my little pep talk has helped my v friend. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
