On Good Friday I had my first doctor's appointment with the bariatric team at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. It started at 7:30am and after an 11am appointment with the registered dietitian, it was over. That was a long morning! But I think the team was impressed with the amount of research I have completed on my own as nothing they told me was much of a surprise. They were in agreement that the laproscopic sleeve gastrectomy would be the best option for me due to my health issues (specifically the multiple sclerosis).
I am working on the diet plan and doing okay so far. Fruits and vegetables make my eyes and mouth itch, and sometimes my throat. This is apparently related to a cross pollination issue where the bees who pollinate plants/trees I am allergic to also pollinate growing things that I am not allergic to. So about 20 minutes of itching and I am back to normal again. It's not too bad. I have already seen the scale move though this is not official so I am not going to record it at this point.
All in all, I am on the right path to making myself healthier. Just gotta keep it up!
