OK, let's see.......I got started on my CPAP the first of March, did feel better but still lagging with fatigue. My MD was concerned about my thyroid labs spacing apart and scheduled a lab redraw in May. I was also found to be very, very low on my vit D. Well, I returned to the MD on May 14th and had my labs rechecked. My thyroid checked out OK. We talked about if I wanted to try taking phentermine again to help lose weight, but I am over that. I told her that me and my husband have been discussing WLS (weight loss surgery). I have been struggling with my obesity for 12 years now and I need something more than what I've tried. She referred me to Dr. Tanner with Norton's Bariatric Weight Management.
I went to a WLS seminar last Friday and I will see my MD again on May 29th to get what I need from her to finish out my packet to turn into the program. I want to pursue the RNY Gastric Bypass procedure. Hopefully, I will be able to turn my packet in by the first of June and get my assessment appointment sometime soon after.
