Pcp Agrees With Me About Needing Wls!



Recommended Posts

just thought i would come on here and tell everyone about my doctors visit today with my pcp. I went today to talk with her about wls and was very nervous because i was worried that she wouldn't think that it was necessary and tell me to go on weight watcher or something like my mom said. i have a few health issues and i'm only 29 years old and she said due to my health issues and my minor disability which makes working out hard and i'm very limited right now. i've got a bad back and she is worried that if i keep herniating discs then i may end up having to have spinal fusion one day and that really worries her and me of course. she said that she 110% supports me and thinks that I need the surgery and i'm in crunch time and need to get this weight off sooner than later. She said she will do anything pre and post op to help me and keep me healthy and on the right track ..it was just such a relief to have my feelings validated by someone especially my dr. whom i trust and who really seems to get me. i just really made me happy because i only have 1 person that seems to understand this avenue and that is really is my only GOOD option...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
