Well, haven't been on in a few days. Everything is going smoothly. Have completed 3 support groups so far and will have one more monday at oconee med. THan another on Dec 1 in anderson, and than I will take one online. Busy busy lol. Met with the dietician yesterday. Will probably meet with the surgeon in jan. If everything keeps going as planned will have the surgery between April and july. Hope everyone has a great weekend

Well, 5 support groups so far, will go to 2 in dec. Will have to keep going to 2 a month till surgery date but no sweat. Got the call for my physc eval. Feb 6th, than surgeon meeting. Prob still looking at June for surgery, have to come up with copay and such. Will keep everyone posted.

I'm on day 5 of pre-op diet. I'm doing very well on it but I really just want to eat food just to eat. My one meal a day is like the best thing ever! I will be on the diet longer than 4 weeks due to the way my surgery falls and the Dietitian is only in the office 2 times a week.....ugh! I've got to get out of my head with food! I'll be glad for surgery, can't wait! I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! I'll be over here drinking my optifast! Lol!

Well, all that is left now is my cardiologist approval, which I will get on March 7th. Than I will start my 4 week opti fast diet, so probably looking at 1st or 2nd week in April for surgery. Dr .Eichhorn will do the surgery on a thrusday. Humana just sent me a letter today saying my surgery was approved. Still have to have a egd and colonoscopy on the 23rd of march, but that will be done during my opti fast diet. Ready to get this done and moving on.
