I've hit what I hope is the midway point of the pre-op journey. I've seen Dr Amson twice now and been part of a group orientation session. Next step is meeting with Dr Z and Carla. Carla ran the group session so I already know what she's like. Dr Z I've heard is very nice and understand what we are going through. These two ladies are the ones who say yes you are ready for surgery as soon as the Dr has a spot open for you.

At this point I wrote a huge rant about how frustrated at the system I am for so many different reasons. But I don't want to be that person. I want to focus on my journey and keep it positive. Trusting that everything is happening for a reason and at the correct pace for me. 

So ...here I am having done all the pre tests and having already made some big changes in my lifestyle with more to come. Just waiting to be given the green light. That being said when the day/call comes I'm sure I'm going to freak out and wonder what the heck I'm doing. It's only healthy to be concerned before any major surgery. I know that with how much I've struggled in life to keep my weight in a somewhat healthy range that surgery is the only tool that will help make losing the extra weight I've gained during my post-partum period doable. I don't care if I'm a size 6...I just want to be healthy again and have the energy and self-confidence to live life...and maybe play a little pick-up ball.
