Well after my long wait of 4 yrs and an all day process today...I finally have a surgery date for my gastric bypass! I saw my surgeon  Dr. Jan at Good Samaritan today in Portland and all is a go for June 24th! It could have been June 10th and I was so excited and telling them yes yes yes...until I stopped myself and realized I have a new granddaughter due June 5th and she may or may not be here! I sure dont want to miss it  at all.. although I really want my surgery! So I told them to push it down to a couple a weeks later..then hopefully my grandbaby will be here.. plus my 5 1/2 yr old granddaughter who lives with me will be out of school and she will have had her birthday party the 20th and I wont miss a thing! I then will feel good at it then being my time! I'm excited but nervous and cant quit eating today for some reason.. I think my tummy heard and said lets get all we can while we can!  I hope surgery all goes good and I cant wait to see what happens! I know weight loss is a real struggle.. but i'm going to make this work and I'm ready!!  Dr. Jan also taled to me about the lap band...but I told him I wanted it to be permanate since I've had a problem with weight my whole life and he said there was nothing in my files that said I couldnt have the RNY so thats what I will be having! I sure hope I made the right decision! One year from now.. I cant wait to see what I will feel like..look like and be wearing!! Oo laa laa.. look out here I come!
