Initial Consultation

MrsVanderbilt

542 views

i just went for my initial consultation at Dr. Lavin's office this week (2 1/2 hour drive!) I met with the nurse practitioner and we went over all the basics to get me approved. I have to jump through so many hoops. i also have to do a sleep study to see if i have sleep apnea. other than that my appt was pretty uneventful. they said i will have 1 night stay in the hospital and then i can go home. i will prob be out of work for a good 3 weeks.

the hardest part of the appointment was looking around at the people in the waiting room and realizing where i was.... i was a fat chick in a weight loss surgery office. it was a coming to jesus moment. how did i let myself get this far? i'm tired of my life being about my weight! DH said his coworker told him the other day that i looked like i lost weight. although it was a great compliment, i don't want my weight to be what people see when they look at me.

Been there .... done that ... blogged extensively about it, Go to my blog and read my first few entries starting in Feb of last year! I was the fat guy at the fat clinic. I got my 'hoops list'. All my visits... yada yade. But after 8 months, i'm down 70 pounds. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
