Today was my consultation with Dr. Malley. I wasn't really sure what to expect but I was nervous and excited!! There were several of us there so Dr. Malley brought us into a room and talked about the risks of surgery and a few details about surgery and what to expect after. I then went in for a one on one consult with him. We talked about my medical history then I was able to ask my few questions and talk about concerns I have. He made me feel very comfortable and even more sure of my decision!!
So I went to the front desk and scheduled it. Monday April 19th!!! There is a 2 week pre op diet that consists of ONLY 2 protein shakes and a small low calorie dinner...lean cuisine or smart one. There are a few other things I can eat sugar free jello, low sodium broth, and sugar free drinks. This might be the hardest part of the entire thing :) My stomach won't be small yet and I have to eat basically nothing for 2 weeks. UGH!! I can do it...I can do it..I CAN DO IT!!!
I do still feel very good about my decision! I am ready for this next step and can't wait to see what I can make happen!
My son is my light and my world I love him more than I can put into words! I am doing this for him more than anything! I want to be here to dance with him at his wedding and to see his through his school years as a mom that he can be proud of and not embarrassed of!!!
