Surgery Date

May 30, 2009

As my surgery date of June 17th draws near I am starting to have some anxiety.  I hate not knowing exactly what is going to happen after surgery.  But I am very excited as well.  I can't wait to start a new leash on life.  I am very secure with my surgeon, Dr. Suh and his office staff.  I have been thinking off and on about having surgery for almost 10 years.  I have been approved once before and then lost my insurance a few days later.  Another time my doctor's office submitted the wrong height and weight for approval after I had completed all the requirements.  Then my insurance changed to Kaiser and I knew it was what I wanted to do so I went full force.  Now I am exactly 17 days away from surgery and it almost doesn't seem real.  I don't know when it will finally hit me that it is going to happen.  I am worried about the awful drink I have to get down the night before surgery.  YUCKKKKKK!!!!!!!  I am worried that I will not get enough protein, that my precious hair will fall out, that I will not lose weight and fail.  I think about my weight and what I eat all the time.  It is foremost in my mind.
