Date Set, Ready to Go!

Apr 06, 2011

I saw the social worker and the dietician on Monday at HRRH - they were both lovely and I really wish I could remember their names.  I'm usually great with names but for the life of me I can't recall.  Anyhow...I think the assessments were terrific.  I liked that they really focussed on what I knew about this process; both the procedure itself and the impact it will have on my life post-op.  I feel really good about this decision and I was confident in answering all of their questions but I have to confess that I broke a little when we talked about my kids.  My boys are 6 and 4 and when I was asked about my motivation for this surgery, they were the first thing on my mind.  I so want to be a great mom for them.  I believe I'm a good mom but  being a fit & ACTIVE mom is the one piece of the puzzle that's missing.  So once those meetings were out of the way, I called my surgeon's office and - bam! - date scheduled - May 25th.  I kinda feel like I won the lottery.  I'm a bit giddy and can't stop smiling. It's only 7 weeks away.  The referral from my GP was sent in November, which means it was only 6 months to get a surgery date...amazing!  I'm so excited
