The Countdown is On! 22 Days!!

May 07, 2010

Three weeks from today I will be on my way to Mexico to get my sleeve!!!!  I am so excited!  One by one, I have been crossing things off my "to do before surgery" list.  I've been hitting my favorite restaurants one last time, getting my financing arranged, getting my vitamins & protein figured out, etc.  

My husband is very supportive of me getting this surgery.  One thing we have been discussing is that usually when we travel, one of our favorite things to do is to try out new restaurants.  Yes, food has often been our "entertainment".  So we've been contemplating about what to replace that with.  So we have decided to take up golf!  He used to really enjoy golfing, but hasn't played in years, and I have never done anything more than putt putt, but I am excited about learning!  We figured that it would be something fun to do when we travel and get some exercise and fresh air while we're at it!  I am also thinking that a ballroom dancing class would be a lot of fun, but he isn't convinced on that one yet.   ;)   Both of those are things that I wouldn't really feel comfortable doing (or have much energy for) at my current size, but I am really looking forward to them now!!

I am getting my gallbladder removed at the same time as my VSG surgery, because I have already been having gallbladder attacks for the past year and a half.  But I've been having this irrational nagging fear that he is going to forget to take out my gallbladder.  I cannot imagine how much worse the attacks would get with quick weight loss!  That thing has GOT to go!!  I'll probably still be reminding them as they wheel me to the OR!
