April 20, 2017 - I have a surgery date of May 15, 2017. I am very excited and scared. I will be having my lap band removed and a vertical sleeve all in one surgery. Praying and taking one day at a time. Mary
January 2006 - Wrote my letter to PNC about WLS. Nurse contacted me to set up an appointment with Bariatric Nurse.
5/11/06 - I had my appointment with Dorothy and Frank came with, she was thorough and patient and answered tons of questions. I am so excited/scared. I believe I may have found the answer to this long troubling struggle with weight. I am praying this anxiety will go away.
6/26/06 - I have had my evaluation, medical, psych, dietition, physical therapist, waiting for insurance confirmation. The staff at PNC is so professional. God grant me patience and I want it NOW!
6/31/06 - I went to my first WLS group support meeting. Thank God for answers. I could just feel the love and support in the room and laughed, Barb is so funny. It felt good to get so many questions answered and my fears eased a bit.
7/3/06 - Dorothy called and said she was submitting the paperwork to BC/BS - I am hopeful and excited....my WLS buddies keep telling me to hang on for the ride....and I am!!!
7/10 to 11/1 - Got a job, bought a house, moved from FL and WI to Minnesota, finally settled and can go ahead with the surgery.
11/6/06 - Met with Dr. Jones - Have a surgery date of December 5th, I'm excited/terrified. Going to support group on Wednesday, hope it helps to calm me down and encourage me to see all the success and love in that room! My DH is wonderful. 26 days, but who's counting....
11/29/06 - my 4th day of liquids about did me in, on Monday I met with Dietician and On Tues had my preop physical, so far so good. Had a rough day at work, food obstacle course and I was HUNGRY, but back in check. Five days until my surgery, I am going to try to journal and set some goals, etc. "Keep My Eyes on the Prize."
