Journey to the center of the hidden me
Notes on Rebecca's journey though WLS Whoo Hooo!!! Huge update!!!
Ok, so it has been awhile since I posted. There wasn't really much going on so I didn't have much to say. But today was my preop class at DePaul. It was from 8:30 and I left about 6 pm. We had a class on what we will go through on surgery day, talked with the nutritionist, talked about exercise, went though all the preop testing and warnings, and paperwork and such. And then... I got my date!!! I am having surgery on August 29th.  Because my BMI is over 50 I have to do the 2 week liquid diet to shrink my liver. So I am getting prepared for that difficult time. I have most of the stuff already but there is a few more things to get. My husband went with me and I think he is more nervous then I am. LOL He wanted to hear everything and know exactly what I was going to be going through and how he could help me though it all. I am so blessed to have such a supportive husband.  I also met several people from the Missouri board. Michelle was in my preop class and Belle was seeing the Pshyc DR. Well, time is either going to fly by or it will drag on. I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens. This is all so unreal. 6 months ago I was just starting the process and seriously looking into the surgery, and now it is 6 weeks away. I honestly never though I would make it this far. I really haven't told my family. I know they would be so set against it. And all I want right now is positive renforcement. I already have to go visit then in 2 weeks and I know I will hear all about how much weight I have gained. It has been that way since I was about 8. Anyway, I have great support with my husband and many friends here. That is all I need. Well, I am gonna end this post for now. But i will be back.... Rebecca 1 Comment(s)
