It has to start somewhere, right?

I am pursuing weight loss surgery. This has taken over my life at this point. I am so focused on it.. I think about it all the time.

I had originally thought about Lap band.. then RNY.. and now duodenal switch. It will afford me the greatest weight loss and seems to be the best long-term way to keep the weight off too.

So far, I have had the orientation at MMPC, an appointment with the internist there, and a sleep study. Coming up very soon, I have 2 appointments with the nutritionist and an appointment with the surgeon, Dr. Kemmeter. I also have to get lab work done.. and I have heard that they take 8-12 vials of blood. Good thing they only poke you one time for all that blood.

I am hoping to get a surgery date before the summer. I don't want to recuperate in the heat. Ha.
