Hello,
My name is Jean and I am on a journey of a lifetime. I am planning on having Gastric Bypass Surgery in the coming months. I have decided to create this blog as a way for me to log my progress and also be able to share it with the people I Love and who are my personal cheerleaders.
After my weigh in at my Primary Care doctor on this coming friday, July 25, 2014, I will have two more months of doctor supervised diet and exercise records to turn into my Bariatric Surgeon. In the meantime I am getting all of my required Surgery clearances out of the way. Psychological Evaluation and Pulmonary Clearance are completed and passed both. Now on to the next one, Cardiac Clearance. It is scheduled for August 3, 2014. Wish me well.
All doctor appointments and clearances are done and awaiting surgery on Oct. 30, 2014 at 12:30 pm.
I want to thank all of my friends and family members who have been cheering me on. On October 30, 2014 I had my Gastric Bypass surgery. Prior to that I had completed all of my insurance requirements needed to have the surgery deemed a Medical Necessity.
The surgery was done laproscopically without any complications. My weight at time of surgery was 346. Today, November 22, 2014 I weigh 333 lbs.
It is going to be interesting to see how my life changes along my journey. The following photos are me the day before my surgery.
