Found my surgeon!!!

YAYAYAYAYYAYAY!! I wanna give a HUGE shout out to my girl Mckayla who is a friggin angel for telling me about this guy. I can't thank you enough girl.

I went to the info seminar for this new doctor today and I'm so happy to say i found my surgeon!

The seminar wasn't as flashy as the first one i went to. It was in the dr's office, not some meeting room in a hospital. there wasn't fancy slides. The actual surgeon didn't talk to us. His assistant surgeon did the presentation. But she answered all my questions and was very knowledgeable. I asked questions about the surgeon and she told me some things i hadn't even asked. Like the fact that he sutures over the staples for double protection against leaks. which is great. he's got GREAT stats. she says that sometimes he takes a little longer doing the procedure because he wants to do a really good thorough job. and the price is good. not as good as mexico but paying an extra $500 for convenience is worth it to my husband. The women in the office were so sweet and so helpful. I feel really good about this. I finally know what I'm gonna do. I have a plan. :)

Next Friday I have my consultation with the surgeon so i can ask any other questions i might have. i could have gone this friday but i'm going out of town. so next friday it is. he's gonna tell me what tests i need done and what dr.'s i have to see. then i plan on making apts asap and trying to get them done in july so that i can schedule my surgery for late august!!! yay!!!!

today on the way home we stopped at TGIFridays. i got steak, shrimp, broccoli and mash potatoes. a lot of food i know. but i wanted to have leftovers for later. so i loaded up on water before so i wouldn't be so thirsty during the meal. then it came. the steak and shrimp were so juicy i didn't have to worry about thirst. and i slowly ate some steak and some shrimp. then when i was half done with the steak i ate some broccoli and then some mashed potatoes. i chewed every piece till it was mush. my husband was done with his sandwich and chips before i was half done. the no water thing wasn't bothering me at all! juicy food and drinking water before really makes a diff. i was so hungry i could have eaten everything on my plate. but i stopped even though i was still hungry. because i knew that it takes time for your stomach to send the signal to your brain that you're not hungry. so i left maybe 1/4 of my steak, half the potatoes and some of the broccoli for later. i never got that feeling of being stuffed. my husband did. and he got sleepy. that happens to me when i eat too much. i'm not hungry. i could eat. lol. but i'm not like hungry hungry. i'm good. although for some reason my mouth is so dry right now. i don't know why. i'm drinking water but it doesn't seem to be helping. weird.

anyway i'm soooo happy and sooooo excited!! :)
