Gallbladder ultrasound and Surgeon Appointment.

So tommorow morning I have the gallbladder ultrasound. I have no idea what to expect. I don't think I will have stones but maybe I do. Most people after having gastric bypass will end up with stones so if you already have them then they will take your gallbladder out during gastric bypass.

I meet Dr. Pohl for the first time on Thursday. I am feel anxious and nervous about the appointment. It is hard to actually say this is a huge problem for me and can you help. I am sure it will workout in the end. I really would like to get past all the testing and onto the actually after surgery part. Life is about to change and hopefully for the better.

Ok I am going to put it out there!

For many years I have thought that I would want to have gastric bypass. I don't talk about my weight with anyone and I don't like people to bring it up with me. Let's face it, it is embarrassing to say I need help with this. Well, after much thought and seeing a good friend going through her journey I decided it is time to take the bull by the horns. Howard and I went to the seminar of Dr. Pohl's at Roger Williams Hospital and thought I am going to do this.

So with appointments made and referrals coming along I am in the beginning of my journey. I had a physical and will be seeing the surgeon at the beginning of July. And if anyone in my family comes across the blog and reads this, know that it is a decision that I have thought out. Please be supportive and I really do know that I am fat so you don't need to remind me of it. It is a somewhat long process of testing but I am going to take a deep breath and say the words that I have a hard time saying,"I need help."
