Here we go with another step: I got scheduled for my first consult with the surgeon! It's next week on Thursday. I was really lucky to get in so soon--they told me there must have been a cancellation--because usually he's 3 or 4 weeks out. I'm taking this as a good sign. :-)
I also got set up for the social worker and nutritionist, one each in the following two weeks. I live fairly close to the hospital (less than 30 minutes), and told them I would take the soonest appointments instead of waiting until I could get them all in one day.
I haven't lost anything much since my 20 pound mark, but re-started my iron, and that does cause a little, uh, "situation." I would like to get down a few more pounds before seeing the doc, though, to show continued progress. I've also been walking on the treadmill every day until today, when I don't feel very well. We have some people out at work, so hope I don't have it! I need to prioritize getting my flu shot!
Have a good rest of the week, everyone, and stay well!
Yay for appointments. Things are moving along, hopefully things will move quickly and smoothly.
ReplyDeleteYES!!! Get that flu shot...I've already had the flu this season because I didn't make my shot a priority and the flu hit early in my area. Groan. And even as bad as I felt I *still* haven't gotten my shot yet. Good luck with the surgeon!
ReplyDeleteThanks! and yes, will make the flu shot a priority, especially since I may be getting a surgery date soon (I hope!).
ReplyDeleteI do think it's a good sign! I'm a nurse...so I so say get that flu shot! Sooner than later. Especially when you're trying to lose weight, your immune system can take a hit :D
