About Time!
Apr 16, 2009
YEAH! I FINALLY have a surgery date! I can't believe it! It's set for June 16th! I was totally bummed that it was that far out (they told me before it would probably be mid-May), but at least I have one now.I was bummed that I have to spend that much more time in this body and that now I really do have to go buy some new clothes. I've been putting it off and putting it off, because I kept telling myself, "I'm gonna have surgery soon so I don't want to spend money on clothes that hopefully won't fit me." But summer is now coming and I really don't fit into any of my old clothes. So I broke down and bought a couple of shirts.
One thing my Dr did say was that the surgery works for about 80% of people. Wow - those 20% may gain the weight back, or it just doesn't work....now I'm TERRIFIED that will be me! I'm not afraid of he surgery or the pain, or the eating close to nothing....I'm afraid that it won't work and then what do I do??? You know? This is my last resort and if that doesn't work, I'm really screwed!
So I weighed in at 225 and I tell you, if I get down to even 180 or 170 - I'll be happy.
I go in on Fri June 5th for some pre-op class, have surgery Tue June 16, and then have my post-op appt on July 1! I'm so excited I just can't stand it!
