oops.
i installed some wordpress spam plugin cause i was getting slammed by spambots and somehow it deleted all my comments, which makes me sad like this:
i’ve installed a different, less aggressive plugin, so hopefully i won’t lose any more comments.
i’m happy to report that all the tests they ran at barix came back satisfactorily. they were happy that i lost the 10-15 (12) lbs i was supposed to pre-op, and i was cleared for surgery!
i really have to applaud barix for being the finely tuned machine that they are. i arrived at 7:15 in the morning, and was seamlessly passed from station to station for all my tests and my meeting with the nutritionist. i was out of there by 11:15, without being made to wait more than 5 minutes between stations. the staff are friendly, helpful and professional.
the only complaint i have, and i know barix’s forte is the Roux En Y surgery, but they need to update their staff, literature and nutritional counseling to be inclusive of the VSG. the eating plan and nutritional info i was given was all about RNY. i found that to be a bit annoying. hopefully they will get up to speed on the VSG now that more and more people seem to be going this route.
today i’m on a mission for post-op necessities. protein powders. vitamins. little tiny dishes to make my little tiny meals seem not so tiny. i’m 8 days out. i’m not nervous or scared, but holy shit, 8 DAYS!
