And has a Surgery Date???!!!   THIS GIRRRLL!!  

Finally after being approved for surgery for 36 days now (not that I was counting) I have MY dates!  My PATS are scheduled for October 22nd & the RNY Surgery is scheduled for November 5th!  It's such a relief to be able to plan my life around it now.  I feel like this is finally real, it's going to happen!

I wish I could write like so many others who have gone through this journey & when they heard about WLS they just knew this is what they had been looking for.  I have so many mixed emotions.  Especially now that i have dates!  In the time frame of about 15 minutes after I found out yesterday, I was excited, then scared, excited again, nervous, doubted myself, then empowered myself, excited again!  lol  I'm a basketcase!

To make things worse, last night I had a very vivid dream about the surgery.  As I dreamed that I had my surgery, I could feel the incisions during my recovery.  I was afraid to drink sips of water and got yelled at by my doctor for only getting in 6 oz,  & the very first day after the surgery I shoved a cupcake in my mouth out of "habit" then immediately spit it all out afraid that I was going to "dump".  I woke up this morning thinking I am going to do AMAZING on this journey since I'm already so obsessed and worried that I will mess up.
