Lets begin at the beginning...

The anxiety attacks are starting to come.

I have my, what I am guessing, is a pre-op appointment on Wednesday. I am also meeting with a nutritionist. I am meeting with the psychologist at the end of the month. My insurance "pre-approved" me for all the testing. After I have all of this done, then it is all packed up and sent to insurance for final approval. This is all going pretty quickly I guess. My insurance also requires a 6 month class, which I have already done at the beginning of this year. So I am assuming I will have surgery before the end of the year...but I don't have a date...yet.

Husband is super supportive, so is rest of the family, save for my father. Well, we have not told him yet, so he has a good excuse. His birth mother and his sister had the surgery. His mother lived, his sister died from complications. This was in the early 70's, before I was born. I am keeping this all a secret from my co-workers which is really hard because I work for the hospital in which I am having my surgery...go figure. 

What does all this seemingly random bit of rambling mean? Well, a lot for me. There are really not that many people I can talk to about this in my circle of peeps. That is not necessarily a bad thing I am starting to think, but there is only so much my husband understands (god love him). So I am hoping this forum will become an outlet for my frustrations, anxieties, joys and triumphs. 

This anxiety attack has stopped for now.
