Some Peace Finally.
Dec 03, 2009
I think I have been to the Dr.'s more in the past week, than I have been in 2 years time. I am finally done with all my pre op testing. My PCP finally cleared me for surgery. Yay! Every time I had a blood test, something came back abnormal. It was driving me crazy, this has been stressful. With surgery only days away (next Tuesday) I began to think it may not happen. I have been cleared, but I am having some additional blood tests to address an issue.While on my wonderful journey to WLS approval, I have developed several new conditions, diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension and hypercalcemia. I guess the timing couldn't be better for surgery. I am young and I am developing all kinds of health issues. Some are attributed to my weight and hopefully will go away as I lose some weight, some I am stuck with forever. The women at my doctors were so excited for me. They kept asking if I was excited. My reply, "yes, excited, but nervous." I did not freak out when I found out I was approved. I didn't jump for joy. I was happy, but for some reason very serious. I explained to someone today....I am having this surgery to improve my medical conditions. If I happen to end up looking good in the process, that will be a plus. My health it my number one priority. If I don't get my weigh related medical issues under control now, I will I have serious issues down the road. And the way I am going, it will be sooner than later. I have NOT fantasized about wearing certain things or being a certain size or running into certain people. This is very serious for me and vanity has nothing to do with it. Being fat is killing me, literally! I can't wait to be healthier!
So today, I can finally relax and look forward to the surgery.
