I have a date!

Dec 30, 2013

So after a long wait I decided to give the bariatric center a call. I talked to my case manager, and I'm not sure what the hold up was, but she managed to get my EDG, surgery, and pre and post op visits scheduled. I can't believe it's all happening so soon! I'm feeling a little bit anxious about all the changes happening, but I'm mostly excited. I haven't told anyone about my surgery except for my husband and family and I'm not really sure that I want to. I just feel like my friends would judge me and wouldn't support my decision and would try to talk me out of it. Some people just don't understand bariatric surgery I guess. Anyway, I'm trying to decide what I am going to tell coworkers when I have to miss a week of work. I work in a small enviornment with mostly women that are very nosey! I'll have to think about that. I wish I had a friend besides my family that I could talk to and share my excitement with. When I got the news about my surgery, after I told my husband I wanted to call a friend and share my news, but then I remembered that I don't have anyone that I could talk to about this. None of my friends are obese, and I feel like they wouldn't understand. I feel like there is still such a stigma about weight loss surgery. It sucks, and it feels very lonely. I guess it's good that I came here.
