31 Days to go

Jul 11, 2014

31 days until surgery and 9 days until I start the liquid diet. I'm trying to deal with my anxiety about the surgery. Yesterday the anesthesiologist said my surgery was "not typical" and told me that I'd be on a respirator during surgery and like last time, I may be on it post-surgery like last time. I have a lot of questions for the surgeon when I see him on Tuesday. I can't believe time is going by so quickly. I'm glad it has... I'm excited about it but I am also very worried. They are having two surgeons doing it because it's "complicated" and anesthesia told me yesterday that my surgery is "not typical" and that I will be put on a ventilator--- again. One part of the surgery is to correct an abnormal growth and the other part is to do a gastric bypass. I'm anxious about the first part of my surgery. I'm excited about the gastric bypass. I'm trying to focus on that but it's so hard. My BPD has me thinking of the other part of the surgery all the time.
