Since learning I was approved for a second chance at weight loss surgery (VSG), I've been waiting for a date that would make this possibility seem more real.  Today I received the call I've been waiting for...to set a date for surgery.  As a teacher, I was hoping for a  date as early in the summer as possible, in case there were any complications to follow. Instead of a mid-June date, like I had hoped, I was told that Dr. Poplawski's earliest date was July 15.....seemed like such a long wait...and so close to the start of a new school year.  I overcame my disappointment when they offered to put my name in BIG LETTERS at the top of the cancellation list.  This means that I'd be one of the first called if someone can't make their surgery date....after June 15.

You know, I get myself worked up about these things when I should just trust and remember that everything happens for a reason.  I've been protected in so many ways and have a lot to be grateful for.  So, now I can say.....I have a date!! and life is good.  Thank you to everyone who is so supportive and patient with me through the emotional ups and downs I've been faced with this year.  You help me in so many ways....more than you know.   Thank you!!
