My So Called Life

September check-in

Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing?

LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask.

I’m 6 and a half months post Bariatric Sleeve surgery.

I’ve lost 60 lbs overall. I’m still 8 lbs above the weight set by my orthopedic surgeon for getting my hip surgery. For those keeping track I’ve been stuck here since July. At my 6 month checkin with the bariatric folks they guess that I’m eating TOO FEW calories and suggested I eat more. 😕

On Wednesday I met with my orthopedic surgeon to see if we can move forward anyway. The xray shows my hip is worse than ever. Added bonus, because my work sold my department to another company it would be best if we could do the surgery before 9/30 when the insurance changes over.

Glory upon glories my surgeon said yes and put me in the “call first in case of cancellation spot” and I’m now scheduled to have surgery on Thursday the 12th (yes, that’s next week).

Nothing, nothing, nothing.. everything at once.

Long road but we’re nearly there.
