Pre-Surgery Follow-Up: The Exam, The Progress, and The Date is SET!


Y’all… I had my official pre-surgery follow-up and legit physical exam with Dr. O’Ryan, and let me just say—it was a completely different vibe from my last visit.

First off, he actually gave me some credit! 🙌🏾

When I walked in, he looked at my chart, looked at me, and said, “Alright, now this is what I like to see.”

Translation? I actually followed the plan (for real this time), and my body is in noticeably better shape than before. The swelling is down, my vitals are stable, and my bloodwork showed improvement.

He even admitted that he was worried last time because I wasn’t taking things as seriously as I should’ve. But this time? He saw the effort.

And I won’t lie—it felt good to hear that. I’ve been fighting cravings, cutting out the bad stuff, staying hydrated, and making sure my iron levels were solid.

The Physical Exam & Final Checks

After checking my vitals, doing a full physical, and going over my latest test results, Dr. O’Ryan gave me the green light. No delays, no extra steps needed—we are officially ready for surgery.

And then came the moment I’ve been waiting for…

THE DATE IS SET.

I finally have a confirmed surgery date. It’s official. No more wondering. No more pushing things back.

Everything I’ve been prepping for is right in front of me now.

How I’m Feeling Right Now...

Relieved? Absolutely.
Nervous? A little.
Ready? 100%.

This has been a long journey, and the fact that I made it to this point in better health than before makes me feel stronger, more in control, and honestly… a little proud of myself.

Now, all that’s left to do is stay on track, keep my body in good condition, and get my mind right before the big day.

It’s happening, y’all. It’s really happening. 😮‍💨💪🏾
