Anxiously Awaiting

Jan 22, 2010

I meet with Dr. Acosta at 6pm this evening.  I am nervous and excited.  I am hoping to hear optimistic and good news from him.  For instance, "Your slip isn't that bad, I am sure surgery will fix it up really well."  I am still going to inquire with him about RNY revision.  I know he prefers RNY over the band anyway....he would be in a better position to know if insurance companies are willing to approve that for people in my position.

If I hear one more peson say, "Well, can't you just eat carefully and exercise for the rest of your life to keep it off now?" I am going to scream!!    Tell an alocholic who has quit drinking that they are now required to drink one shot of whiskey a day, but hey.....don't drink more than that!!  Have some discipline man!  Not happening.  Of course I will TRY my best to maintain if I end up without a tool to help me, but my illness and addictions have a lot of power over me, I am ashamed to admit.

I will update tonight or tomorrow with what Dr. Acosta tells me, but I am going to be as optimistic as I can and say that my band will be fixed, or revised....but I WILL be just fine and continue along my journey to meet my goal!!
