Tuesday, January 20, 2009 5:00 AM DS Date
I cannot believe that I actually have a scheduled date. I called Danette today in Dr. Buchwald's office. I meet with Dr. Buchwald tomorrow afternoon to talk with him again, mostly because I am scared to death to do this. I need reassurance from him. I want to talk to him about a 100 to 150 cm common channel.
I think I am in shock. I went through all the requirements. I talked to HealthPartners and they received the prior authorization. I completed my telephone counseling, my MMPI with the head-shrinker, and all the things I needed to do, so they should approve it, as it is their list of requirements and my BMI is 42 so co-morbids are irrelevant.
I'm excited, scared, afraid, anxious, and nervous and it is still 8 weeks out exactly.
Will I survive 8 weeks?

Congratulations on your date! If you're like me, you'll be nervous and exciting for a bit, then things will level out until a week or two before surgery and then those feelings will come back. You'll do great, what a wonderful way to start the new year.

Let us know what Dr. B. says about you CC length. Usually he does not waiver on that so I am curious if he will for you.

I'm not perfect but I am going to die trying!!!
I have been a member here since December 2003. First lurking, then posting, then going through so many gains, losses, gains, losses, ups and downs before this summer finally deciding that I need to do something different.
It's amazing how I go back and forth!
It's amazing that I have been brave enough to go this far.
I think that the scariest thing to me is if I would die and leave my boys without a mother (or a father). My 14 year old needs me (so does my 7 year old, but differently) Long story...
Anyway, thanks for the support!! :)
