Thumbs up Surgeon was pleased today...

1st he was glad to see me after the complications last week and the emt taking me to a different hospital.

he took out all of my staples, my incision sites look good, my bp was 105/79, so no bp meds for me.

He answered all my questions, took the time to listen and respond, it was so nice!

I have to have my crit checked on Friday just to be sure it's still showing as stable.

My 6 week check up is on March 15th

My weight on his scale today was 294.0 - I was soooo happy to see that!!! I'm under 300 pounds, and so very very happy!!!

It was so refreshing to be with a doc that was treating ME as a person, not as a chart - know what I mean??? Not that the docs at MGH didn't provide good care, they did - but it wasn't as personal

oh, and he said if I promise to teach sitting down and end class early if I'm tired, I can teach tomorrow night - now I just need to see if I can figure out how to connect my laptop up to the av system so I can use powerpoint instead of writing on the board.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Glad to hear of your progress. Great work!!

Welcome to Twoderville - a place you're just passing through on your way to your true destination! It's a sign of progress, but Onederland is your real home!! You'll get there, but we always liken this journey to a train ride, not the Concorde!! In your body's own good time, you'll reach her goal.

Good luck with advanced instructional technology tomorrow!!

are you a pediatric nurse??? I can see it taking you longer to get back to work - I'm behind a desk - I'll just have to limit my lifting - and stick to the limit - and I'm blessed that we have a couch in the back that I can rest on during lunch. My DH brings me to work in the morning - and he'll drop me at the door - the going home is the bigger issue - he's not always able to pick me up.

yeah, I was really glad about that - I was on a low dose, but I still like getting rid of medications.

Thanks
