I have completed all the required pre-op testing, classes, nutrition counseling, surgeon's appts. and lost 15 lbs. I am counting down the days until surgery.
I'm getting excited but nervous now. It is all becoming a reality and no longer seems to be something in the future. I was ready to have surgery at the end of November and very motivated, but due to my husband's schedule the surgeon wanted me to wait. I had to agree that it was probably the best although I admit I was a little disappointed and felt a let down.
Now that the date is quickly approaching I'm gearing up for it again and seem to be "nesting" right now. Getting the house clean, everything in order, shopping done. Not only will it help me feel better prepared, but it's a great way to keep busy before surgery. My husband is in the Navy and left this morning and won't return until just before my surgery. So the house is quiet and keeping busy is good. This also gives me some quiet time to read and review some of my notes and information prior to the big day.
Just before I begin the 2 day liquid diet I'm going to get a manicure and pedicure and pamper myself a little.
My surgeon is very nice and we call him and one of the other Dr's McDreamy and McSteamy. Wouldn't ya know it the dietician told them but they thought it was funny, thank goodness. My motto is, if you have to a Dr, he might as well be good looking, ya know?
