First consult with surgeon scheduled

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!

  2. YES!!! 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!

  3. Thanks! and yes, will make the flu shot a priority, especially since I may be getting a surgery date soon (I hope!).

  4. I 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
