Tuesday is your day!
Just remember you
are on the journey
of a lifetime. Try
to enjoy every
minute. It may sound
weird now, but know
that you are cared
for and prayed for
here, and all too
soon this will be
but a memory and you
will be an
inspiration to
someone else. I am
waiting for you on
the losers' bench!
One more week..... I will be having my gastric bypass surgery next Tuesday, I'm so excited! My fiance' Jim is taking me to L.A. for a few days to celebrate. I need the time away to mentally prepare myself for this too. I was in the doctor's office yesterday and I met some people who were one week post-op. It was so great to see how well they were doing. It relieved a lot of my anxiety to see them up walking around without difficulty, and the big smiles on their faces helped too! I've been wanting WLS for a very long time, my first consultation with a doctor was back in 1993. Something about it just didn't "feel" right, so I didn't do it. I'm glad I waited because this time everything feels perfect. I'm prepared in every way, and I have a great support system. Jim had the Lap-Band procedure last December and he is doing great. He's lost about 80 pounds so far, and it was his experience with the surgeons and their staff that led me to persuing my goal of gastric bypass surgery. I'll be back next week with an update :)
