Well, the "big" day is finally scheduled.  Or, should I call it my last "big" day!  My surgery is scheduled for February 22!!!  I was about to have a nervous breakdown waiting to hear when my surgery date was!!!  I found out that she had laid my paperwork to the side and forgot about it!!!  Oh, well!  I called after two days of waiting for her to call me!!!  I am very excited that I will get to have my son's birthday party and be with my husband on his birthday before my surgery.  I cannot wait to have this surgery!  I really pray that it will get rid of my diabetes 100%!!!  That would be fantastic!!!  I take over 300 units of insulin every day of my life.  That is 6-8 shots  Well, we will see!  Thanks to all of you for your support!  This has been a great journey so far! 

Well, I had my second appt.  It was January 4 with the psychologist.  It wasn't bad.  She asked a lot of questions and gave me some tips.  Now I am just waiting for them to call me with my surgery date.  Then I will go for some pre-op stuff and be on my way to the loser's bench!!!!  I can't wait!  I am so excited!  My kids are a little nervous.  They have seen a lot of the before and after pictures on this site and they see a lot of changes in the people.  9 out of 10 people's hair is different so they asked me what my hair would look like after the surgery!  I thought that was so funny!!!  It's just that people get their hair died and styled different b/c they feel better about themselves.  I don't think they quite get it but, oh well!!  Well, happy new year everyone!  This is definitely a new year for me!!! 

Well, my first appt  is tomorrow!  I cannot wait!!!!  My emotions are flooding thinking about this new journey I am taking!  I sooo can't wait to meet and talk to my surgeon.  I saw him at the seminar but just briefly.  He slipped out at the end.  I will let you know how I like him and what my next step is.  I also have an appt. with my regular doctor on Thursday.  She can get the blood tests and things that I need.  Can't wait!!!!!!!
