My PCP is having cold feet
mchap25 replied to Sleeve_Sistah85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc has never been on board with WLS until now. She knew if I didn't deal with issues from my past and heal mentally I wouldn't be successful. After intense therapy and healing I brought it up with her. She was so pleased and said if I was her sister she would now recommend the sleeve surgery. I love her and trust her honesty! Maybe your doctor has reservations based on your history. If rather discuss it than have a wedge between you. -
Still looking for people scheduled in March
mchap25 replied to largeininc's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in Illinois. If I can't have it in March then I will wait until June when the school year is done since I'm a teacher. No sense in using up sick time in the last 2 months of school. -
Any teachers out there? Mixed emotions!

I do have a Spring Break so I'm hoping I can work with that to take less time off. -

Thanks for sharing! I'm a few months out and most days I'm excited. Days if doubt are creeping in though! -
There are several posts about the diet just prior to surgery for liver purposes, but what about prior to that?. I just started the process and have seen my Nut twice. She has me eating a high protein diet, taking vitamins and supplements, cutting soda and caffeine, juice, or anything else considered empty calories. I am doing well with it all but just wondered if others had to do this too.

I'm looking at surgery in early December too. Let's join with other December people for support.

Just starting too. Had my first appointments with doc, nutritionist, social worker, and am waiting on physical therapist. First follow up with nutritionist next week. Surg won't be until December so I can recoup while on break. Definitely a bag of mixed emotions!
