The first step to recovery....July 26 2007

I have been thinking about it for years right? The whole Stomach stappling thing. Two of Teresa's cousins did it. I should be able to do a band. They don't take anything out just restrict my ability to eat a little. So here I was at work today and I finally decided to do it. I am going to make my DR appointment tomorrow and I will see what needs to be done. When I checked into the bariatric surgery it was two 6 months DR supervised diets and a psych test. That is a long time and I don't want to wait that long. But why prolong it any more. I will write my why's later. They may suprise you. They may surprise me too.   Later

Step 2-July 27, 2007

I DID IT! Not really a big deal I guess to most people but it is to me! I made my first Doctor appointment! Monday morning is the day I get the reaction of my doc. I am prepared to change docs if the response is a negative one. Have only seen him twice so it will be no big deal. I have told 4 people at work so that can ask me about progress and I trust them not to spread it around. I also trust them to encourage me without judging my decision or badgering me about it.

First Dr. Appt - July 30, 2007

My Doctor was surprisingly encouraging of having the procedure done! I was really happy! He gave me 3 programs to look into. All in Central Ohio. I have already made appts with all 3 for the informative meetings.   Mt Carmel Aug 3rd 6-8   Ohio State Aug 6th 6-8   Riverside Methodist Aug 7th 7-9   Has anyone been to these hospitals and can recommend them? I would feel more comfortable going on a referal than a sales pitch if you know what I mean....   My "why"s are coming soon, I promise!
