Its been a months since I walked into my Dr's office and asked to be referred for a gastric bypass. I met with the surgeon 2 weeks ago. He explained all the pros and cons to having the surgery done. I still wanted the proceedure. So I was told I'd have to complete several evaluations before I could get a surgical date.
1. Psych exam - which I had today. I found out that I have to have a follow up in 1 month! I am so upset that it will be another month before I can even get a date for the surgery!
2.) Gastric Bypass class - Wednesday
3.) Nutrition Class - Thursday
4.) Follow up with the surgeon
I have no idea if there are other appointments that I'll have to book after these ones. All I know is that these are the only ones I can book at this time.
I want to hurry up and get the surgery. I feel disgusting! I am at my heaviest. I haven't been this uncomfortable in years. I can't beleive I operated at this weight for so long when I was in Tampa. I can't begin losing weight because I am right on the edge of qualifying for the surgery. Its horrible and frustrating. I am afraid that I will maintain this weight for another few months only to be turned down for the procedure.
The only thing that gives me hope is that I will get the surgery and thiswill be a horrible memory at some point.
