Another week down
It has been exactly three weeks since I made the decision to pursue weight loss surgery. I was worried that time was going to move at a snail's pace, but we're another week down.
Tuesday I was very stressed out because the our Primary office was not going to give us our referrals. My mom called them Wednesday and let them know that they either needed to give us the referrals, or they would be losing two patients. Thankfully, they gave us the referrals.
Mom had an appointment with her endocrinologist. It didn't go well. That doctor is actually recommending that my mom do the bypass over the sleeve, since you lose more weight with it. That's a more involved procedure though. The fact that it involves the intestines really bothers her. She's going to talk to he surgeon about it and see what he thinks. Ultimately it's her choice. We'll see what the doctor says.
Speaking of the doctor, we found out we'll be seeing Dr. Fei. He is the one who gave the seminar and he is very nice. I'm looking forward to meeting with him. I'm really excited to get this process going. With any luck, mom and I can be done with surgery around October.
