FINALLY!!!!

Mar 24, 2010

 After years of waiting and having jobs with bad insurance and ALMOST giving up it's happened!!! I am now 30 years old and I will be having gastric bypass surgery on April 13th, 2010!!!  I can't wait.  I found out yesterday that I was approved and talked to Dr. Rehnke's office this morning and I got everything set up.  I start on Optifast on the 30th, so I have 5 "normal" food days left.  Dr. Rehnke has us go on Optifast to help shrink the liver some so it's easier to work around, and I am great with that.  This will be my first time staying overnight in a hospital, also my first surgery.  I know if I don't do this though that there will be many more surgeries in my future.  I am now a type 2 diabetic and I have high blood pressure, so this is a wonderful gift and opportunity that I have been given.  I know God is with me and is giving me a second chance at life.  :-)
