Got my 1st surgeon's visit



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited. I called the doc's office to see if they got my psych eval results and if so if I could schedule my appointment. The nurse said they normally would wait until they received them but since their next appointment isn't until early next month she would go ahead an schedule me. My first surgeon's appointment is on July 11th. I can't until that day. She gave me a warning that the doc may want me to lose some weight but I already knew that anyways. I'm still trying to lose weight while I'm going through this process. It's nice to finally get to meet the surgeon and get a little closer to being banded!

What are you doing for your pre-op diet? I was told my doc doesn't suggest one but I've decided to go on Protein Shakes during the day and have a lean meat and some veggies for dinner. The nurse at his office suggested that I cut out carbs completely until after the surgery when I am able to eat normal foods again.

I haven't been banded yet. I just scheduled my first appointment with the surgeon so I'm close to the end of the first leg of my weight loss race. After this 1st visit and after I complete all he pre-op tests I'll be able to schedule my 2nd visit and know when my surgery date is. I'm hoping his nurse's estimate is right and I can be banded at the end of July.

I have done all the pre op orders and I am just waiting on a surgery date unless he decides he wants me to do something else before surgery I pray he just lets us schedule the surgery.I hope the nurse was right to on the time estimate it will happen so fast we won't know what hit us.Good thing keep me posted.

      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.
