I had my last visit today with my Bariatric specialist, Dr Jacob Chisholm, and he is very happy. In the almost 4 weeks since seeing him I have lost 7kg, I think that is around 14 pound in the old scale, and I think he was quite surprised lol
My ultrasounds were good but my TH3 levels are very low and my gallbladder has sludge, which may turn to stones later, but apart from that everything else is a go :)
I had my mum with me this time. I know she has been really stressed and worrying about it, you're never to old to be your Mammy's baby, so I thought it would be nice if she could meet him and ask anything that was really worrying her. I am pretty sure she is feeling much more positive about the whole thing now, which is a huge comfort to me. I may be almost 50 and I know it's my choice, but it's not nice to worry your parents no matter how old you are :) especially when you are close as we are.
So, now, time to think about what to take into the hospital with me. I know I am going to take advantage and sleep as much as possible lol but I think I will take my hand sewing with me to work on.
This is starting to become real now and I am starting to become so positive and can feel the confidence already starting to lift. Now to find the strength to make sure I don't let Anyone take that confidence away again.
I think it might also be a good idea to start taking some photos for my befores and afters. I'm sure they will be interesting lol
