Today I had my last appointment with my surgeons P.A. (physicians
assistant) before my surgery on Tue. 9/01/09! I am sooo ready! She
went over what to expect before/during/after surgery and btw, she was
awesome!! She had received all my results from the previous tests I
had taken and everything looked great! All my labs were good except
apparently my Vitamin D levels were pretty low! WTF? haha She has
said that alot of overweight people are deficient because Vit. D is
stored in the fat and since a lot of us have A LOT of fat it is hard
for the vitamin to reach the bloodstream! I thought that I was
consuming enough dairy that was fortified with Vitamin D but I guess
not! 
She gave me a prescription for a supplement to take. I didn't have
that many questions so we covered just the basics. After that I had
another meeting with the registered dietician. I had had homework to
complete before surgery, involving what my meal plan was going to be
the days following my surgery when I come home! So we had a good chat
and I left feeling more confident about what to expect! Come on
Tuesday!!!!!
