Yay for cute surgeons

Apr 08, 2011

Yes, yes. I'm bad I know. But it doesnt hurt. I met with him last night, and it went smooth. It was about 15 minutes. He said he has a 15 minute speech of doom he gives to people about cancelling their surgeries if they don't lose the pre-op weight, but he said I didn't need it :) He was very happy with my weight loss so far.

He said expected weight is about 8-10 weeks but said since I've already lost the weight, he'll put me on a priority list for cancellations. Thank heavens my job is flexible, and I could just call in sick and be like ooopps, had major surgery yesterday, be back soon :)


The nurse told me to start calling the lady in charge of scheduling in a month from now. I wanted to call her today and see if anyone cancelled, but I've been talking myself out of being ridiculous. I'll wait a couple weeks. I'm not entirely sure I'm ready for this.

I'm very anxious about whether to tell my boss. It's kind of weird not to since she's the best ever, and is very flexible, so if I need to go home early or what ever, it wouldn't be a problem, but she likes to talk, and I know she'd tell the whole office before I got back. I do not want the rest of the office to know even though they've been my biggest cheerleaders with my pre-op weight loss. I told one person (not in my office) about my plans, and they asked me why I would even think about since I've done so well already. That was the first and the last. I already have those doubts in my mind, I don't need more people telling me.  (even the surgoen told me I can cancel anytime if I decide I want to do it on my own)

This weekend, I'm going to walk 5K and see how it goes. I want to sign up for a 5K race with my friends, so I want to make sure I can do it under an hour (though my goal is about 50 minutes- I think I can do it). I will be a little sad to interrupt my working out for surgery, but in the end, it will be worth it.
