I had my final consult with my surgeon yesterday and he was concerned that my Iron levels were low. He has asked me to have an iron infusion (sounds very new age lol) before surgery in just over a months time. Anyone else had to do this

I'm a big believer in the vibes between you and any health care provider. You need to find that 1 special 1 that does "you-speak". you know, actually looks at you and listens! I a very out spoken with my pcp. That way, we both know where we are at.

I’m scheduled for September 19th.

Right now I wish I could fast forward time. I’m super excited although I do admit I panicked a bit when we set the date. I actually felt a bit guilty and I also had feelings of shame. How did I get to this point? How did it come to this? Etc.

However, after speaking with my amazing mother in law, who was beyond supportive, I started feeling much better. She told me I should be super proud of myself for taking my health into my own hands and doing what it takes to get healthy. She changed my entire point of view. Now I’m actually feeling proud of my choice and I can’t wait for the future. I know I will be super happy when I’ve lost the weight and I’ll never look back.

From now on, September will be a month to celebrate!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
