    My first blog

    I began my weight loss journey In August 19th when I went to my doctors because I wasn't feeling well and she weighed me in at 244. I asked her for diet pills and told her I was considering weight loss surgery. She didn't approve of either but did write me a script for Belviq. As of today's date I have lost 19.4 pounds since that visit. But I did start my weight lose journey as well. On Sept. 3rd I went to the seminar at the hospital I work for and where they will also be doing my surgery. It was a very positive seminar and things started rolling right along from there. The following week I was in the office meeting with the shrink and nutritionist. Sept. 18th I met with the surgeon for the first time. Still very positive. I had a list of things I needed to do, but most were already done, I still needed to go to cardiologist and get blood work done. Blood work came back that my vitamin D levels were low and I needed to start taking calcium. from there I went to the cardiologist who gave me the 2 thumbs up that I was cleared for surgery. Then I called the insurance specialist and she told me I met all requirements and gave me my surgery date of Nov 11th! OMG I got so freaked out. I want this but at the same time I am so scared of everything that comes along with it. So my next visit is Oct 30th it is my pre-admission day and Iwill need to be there from 7:30am till 3pm. I have to take a day off with no pay... then I guess they will tell me if I need to do the liquid diet or not. So today I am 225.4 and feeling pretty good about that. scared about hair loss, scared about complications, scared of how life will change, but also excited to start this weight loss journey!

    Gastroscopy Done

    I had my Gastroscopy yesterday! It confirmed a small Hiatal Hernia, so that will be repaired when I have my Sleeve done. Thank goodness as it is really acting up lately! My surgeon is away on holidays from next week for several weeks so I will visit the Dietician and Psychologist during that time and I will see him again 15 December with Operation confirmed for 21 January 2015. Another Step Closer!!! Lizzie

    Post Surgical Body Issues

    It sucks that you are getting keloids. I'm not prone to them, but all my scars heal really dark compared to my skin tone. I've noticed a lot of drapey saggy skin on my thighs as well, as well as my arms. Proportionally those areas have more weight on them than some of my other areas. Grr.
