Update: My Pre-op Physical

2014 Mexico - Birthday Cruise

So today I went to my pre-op physical where my PCP signed off for me to be considered for the surgery. Well, I knew he would. My blood pressure was GREAT. No risk of having high blood pressure, no diabetes or any other problems. I have never had a surgery before so this will be a NEW experience for me. I have watched videos and joined a few bariatric surgery support groups on Facebook and will join one that is local to me.

Tomorrow is my psych evaluation and I will hopefully set the appointment to speak to the nutritionist. So wish me luck! I am so ready to get on with this process and take the necessary steps to gain control of my life and feel healthy and free.

I will write a post about why I am having the surgery done but I feel that more will be revealed in my psychological evaluation. I know, just from listening to others stories that I have a minor food addition. I might even have a minor eating disorder. As a younger woman I used to binge eat but now it's more like a love-hate relationship with food. My hardest vices to let go of will be my love for Coca-Cola. God help me with that one.

Until next time,

Linda
