I need a secretary!



Recommended Posts

Today I drove 45 minutes to have my psych eval only to find out that my appointment is actually Friday. My husband said (joked) this didn't bode well for my evaluation. :) I swore it was today, and I even called the psychiatrist to let her know I was waiting. She was ill today and had canceled everything. After I arrived back home and rechecked my paperwork, I realized I was the one who was wrong.

My doctor was supposed to fax my recommendation letter to my surgeon by today. My surgeon hadn't received it as of 1:30 today, but my doctor is saying it was faxed this morning.

I have this giant list of things to do and people to contact, and I feel like if I'm not careful I'm going to miss something.

Tomorrow I have to drive over an hour to attend a support group meeting.

I teach, so I'm not working 40 hours right now. If I was, I don't think I'd be able to get everything done and stay on track of everything.

I've been keeping all of my information in a file folder with multiple pockets. It seems to help, but I still screwed up this morning.

OMG that is so true!! You're making me wonder if they do that on purpose... :blink:

To the OP, the journey to get the sleeve or any WLS is pretty wacky. We all got through it though, and you will too. Just keep venting here, we'll get you through it.

go to cozi.com. This is a shared calendar, shopping list, etc.....My husband and I share it, so we both get set up reminders for appts and such. You can set a reminder for yourself or go to all family members. Every Sunday it sends me a list of all the appointments for the week. It has a grocery list that you can add to it while the other person is at the store. I even have my husband trained to put on his doctor appts as soon as they are made. I love it.

My iphone has really helped me with appts, I use the calender, notepad for grocery lists and to do stuff, and of course the myfitnesspal app.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
