Tomorrow is the day

Mar 22, 2011

Tomorrow 3/23 at 7:30am I will finally be having my RNY surgery. I had wanted this Surgery back in 1999 but at the time my Ex-wife was asking me not to have it. Fast forward 8 years and I was Divorced and met my current wife. She was very supportive of my decision since she had the surgery in 2002 and had kept the weight off. So I started the process with Kaiser and did my 6 months of classes. I finished my classes in March 2009. i was about to get my surgery date and I was laid off my job and lost my insurance in the process. I was laid off again a few months later and then changed careers. i was chugging along when a guy who I had worked for a few years ago called to ask me to come to work for him. OK i was going to have insurance again, but of course because of paperwork problems it was delayed 2 more months so in November i got my Insurance. I asked my Doctor what I needed to do. it took a month but the lady who runs the bariatric program called me and said she was sending over my referral. They called from the the surgical center and got registered a week later they called to set the date. It could have been a couple weeks ago but I wanted to finish my bowling season. The hospital called this morning to remind me to arrive at 5:00am. I am excited for my new journey and look forward to my new life. Now if you excuse me i need to go take my Milk of Magnesia.
