I haven't posted in what feels like forever because there hasnt been much to report, however a friend was telling me she had decided to have lapband surgery and I got interested in it and I found out that the lapband and gastric bypass are both covered by my insurance. I thought about it and I have decided to have Gastric Bypass. It worked so well for my mom and I know I can handle the diet and exercise part of it, so on August 12th I met with both the nurse practitioner and a dietitian.
It was very informative and I feel very safe and comfortable being in the hands of OHSU physicians and providers. I have to get some labs done, do a sleep study and a psych eval but I was told by the nurse practitioner that given my age and relatively healthy body, I could have the surgery in about 3 months. wow, that is insane. I am nervous but very excited, it will be so great to have this tool to help with my weight loss goal and also to maintain my weight once I've lost the excess weight.
However, I have only decided to share this on blogger and won't be announcing it to anyone on facebook, just because I dont feel it's really anyone's business unless i'd like to share it with them, so ya'll are special :)! anyways, I will keep you updated on the process and also on my surgery and recovery and the weight loss I will have following surgery. I will post some pre-surgery photos of myself when the time for my surgery has been scheduled.
