Had my phone interview today with Dr. Watkins, nurse, counselor and scheduler. I am scheduled for the the gastric plication on September 28, 2011. I have to start my prep pack next week while I am in Cancun. I have been very stressed at work but this decision feels right for me. I will need to do one week of 800 cal per day liquids prior to the surgery. I bought a chewable vitamin. Worried about being able to take my medications after surgery.

 

On September 20 will have a history and physical done with my primary doctor. Supposed to get height weight and neck size. My husband is coming with me to the surgery and I am glad he has been so supportive!

 

Dr. Watkin says he advises a week of of work to heal. I am having the surgery on a Wednesday and want to return to work the next Monday.

 

So successful day!

Mary,

I only realized in the last minute or two that you'd been posing in a blog. Sorry about not catching that. I hope that you'll do well. Holler if you need us :)
