The waiting game

Sep 21, 2009

Ok so I have been through the  6 months supervised diet to find out that my insurance may require more time with the dietician. Well the patient advocate said let's just move forward and we will take it from there. So.. I had my Pre-Op appt with the surgeon on 9/4. Got my surgery date 10/5 and now just waiting to hear from the insurance. I did get my pre admission testing packet and appt for 9/28.
Everyone is asking if I am nervous or scared for the surgery. My honest answer 'No'. I feel very good about this decision and know I can finally suceed with this. I am getting the LAP Band. seeing my mom loose 60 pounds in the past year by doing Weight Watchers has made me very happy for her but feel bad for myself that I just can't do it that way. I have done so much research and been to all the seminars that I feel very comfortable with this. My husband is scared only because it is surgery, but out patient and I will not be out of work very long.
I am so thankful to have a great support system and home with family and friends as well as at work with co workers and managers. It is a great feeling to have that support.
