So today I meet my surgeon who is so great, but after looking at all my lab work I'm missing an endoscopy which was not on my list because when I first went there I wanted the lab band. So now I have to look for an endoscopic who will give me a quick appointment because if that wasn't bad enough my insurance ends on May 31st. I am trying to stay in faith but this is such a let down.

What a bummer, but hang in there! This will happen for you! Try the smaller hospitals, maybe they can work you in quickly, it is a outpatient procedure. Your surgeon doesn't know any?

Be a squeaky wheel. Call EVERY day and ask about cancellations. They'll soon find you one just to shut you up. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Trust me. It's worth a try! B)

Talk to the surgeon and ask him to schedule you a date for the first part of May and meanwhile, check if you can go someplace else for the endoscopy and keep calling to see if they had any cancellations. It's time to be a pest! Don't give up, explain to them the importance of getting this done now. ;) The bottom line is about payment and they will accommodate if they have too. Stress that there isn't much time. ;)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
