Getting My Business Done.

[Montage 87]

Ok, so all my Dr's visits are done and dusted. Just got my Pathology back, and everything is normal. Which is pretty much why i am getting this surgery, nothing seems to be wrong with me other than my metabolism is shot.

So next I have to see the Dietician on the 11th Dec and she will give me my liquid diet.then in Jan I will go see the Surgeon, and get scoped and then set a date for the surgery.

you are jumping through those hoops like champ. be here before you know it. Does feel good to get those things done and checked off doesn't it!!

Thanks everyone, well I am progressing along this journey to my surgery date. All reports have come back very favorable except for one, from the Shrink, he has not yet sent the report yet, and he was the first person I saw. So my Surgeon, is gonna have a look into it for me. I am going to schedule my pre-op checkup with him for mid Jan.

Congrats on making the decision! May I ask what the problem was with the psych eval? I'm going through all the pre-op testing myself : )

[Montage 87]

Thanks. I don't believe there was any psychological problem with the eval. The shrink just hasn't sent the report in yet. but my surgeon will be chasing it up, and will find out whats happening.

It's an amazing journey so far, and cannot wait to have the surgery and start losing.

Hi all' date='

I'm 30 in a few days and have finally Made the decision to get RNY.

I'm 6'3" and 160kgs(353lbs) living in South Africa I cannot wait to be banded! Going to go discuss my options and plan with the doc on Thursday afternoon, it's such a relief to make this decision. . I have a strong need for this. I have been at 40+ BMI since I was 14 and although it hasn't got super out of control I have tried everything under the sun!

Now is my time to shine!

Bring on the RNY I say!![/quote']

Welcome aboard & congrats on your decision!!

Yeah, the think is I work for an international company but our office here in South Africa is small(5 people) and there is only 2 of us in our department. I generally have to travel a lot for work, and so I want to be able to not travel for at least a month after surgery. Local travel I could possibly do, just the international could be difficult as its mostly into Africa, and that can be very difficult being on a liquid only diet. I must admit thinking about this now, it's gonna be difficult even after I am off the liquids and on mushies. But I guess I will have to just deal with it.

I also need some advice on what to tell my boss to get 2weeks off in march, and to make sure I'm there for the whole month. Sometimes people are just not that understanding. Was wondering if there was some other procedure I could say I'm having. If not I am going to have to tell them the real reason.

[Montage 87]

I am trying to make sure I can keep my customers and my company happy, but I also want this surgery to make me happier.

I know I'll have to tell them, my pre-op visit is the 2nd Jan, when he will start scheduling my Surgery. I will just need to ask for the 1st March 2013 or a day closest thereafter. It seems so far away!!

Do you really have to tell them what you're having? Can you just say you need to have a surgery? What if y just say you're having some stomach problems.... Gall bladder, kidney, etc. I guess we're just really protected here in the States by the HIPPA privacy act.
