So today i met Dr. Hixson, he's an older doctor and extremely friendly, i liked him instantly. My official weight loss since my last visit was 7 1/2 lbs, darn PMS :( But that's okay cause i wouldn't want to gain next month, so if i continue to do what i'm doing i'm hoping for another few lbs lost next month. Dr. H said he felt i was making a very positive decision in choosing the DS procedure. He reminded me it is the more "risky" surgery with a 1% mortality rate, which i already knew. We also talked about the fact that at 32 (33 next week) I am at a great, healthy place to get this surgery. I am not going in with high blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes or any number of other health problems that i will most certainly be looking forward to down the road if i don't get this weight off. Overall a fantastic appointment and Dr. H made me feel really good about my decision and he complemented me about being so educated about the surgery and process, as well as what will be required of me. Made me feel great :-)
Next up is the sleep studay on Sunday night, rescheduled from before when i was sick and then the next time the weather was bad. Hopefully all goes well and i get that out of the way. Then on 3/4 i go see the psychiatrist. March 15th is my next Saranac appointment and i see the nutritionist at that time too.
