So I am very excited...about 2 things. First is I head to Missouri today for my cousins wedding!
Second, I am excited about my visit with my surgeon and the lap band teaching class I attended at Lahey Clinic last night.
My surgeon is so nice, he basically just went over all the surgical options I had again (ex. bypass, the sleeve, ect.) and then told me a little bit more about the Lap Band. I asked him where my port would be and he said most likely on my right side and that I will see him 2 weeks after surgery and that my first fill should be 4-6 weeks after surgery.
So at the teaching class it was 2 hours. The first hour was given by a NP, Pam. She basically went over all the things that will happen day of surgery and while we are at the hospital. She also gave us this special stuff we have to clean our stomachs with starting 3 days prior to surgery. The 2nd hour was given by a dietician, Karen. She went over the weeks after surgery and what we will be able to eat. It was all very helpful because I didn't know what I was going to eat afterwards!!! When I come back from Missouri I'll post the 5 weeks plan she gave us!
