So, after months of: seeing my doctor, going to a public seminar, going to an appointment with a bariatric surgeon, going to a public class with a social worker and a nutritionist, having a ton of blood tests, having a private appointment with a social worker and nutritionist, having a chest xray, abdominal ultrasound. an endoscopy, and a stress test, I am FINALLY in the last days before surgery. Tomorrow are my pre-op blood tests. Wednesday is my pre-op appointment with the surgeon and a pre-op class. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. 19th.
In the last few days I have gone through euphoria, depression and nausea at the thought of it all. Reading peoples writings has helped. Knowledge is empowering. I am currently at 228 pounds. My highest was 236 pounds. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and GERD. I am female nd almost 52 years old.
