Surgery Date Schedule...1/6/2010!!!
Dec 02, 2009
I found out yesterday that my upcoming Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery date has been officially scheduled for Wed. Jan. 6th, 2010 at 7:30 a.m.!!!
When I heard the news, I was relieved, but not so much because I was able to get the date I wanted - but because I had spent the past week playing phone tag with the surgery scheduler who unfortunatly would not answer her phone or return my voicemails when I was available to talk. As you know, this is a very private event so it is hard to talk about on the phone during the day at work because I don't want my colleague (or anyone for that matter) to hear my conversation.
Up until this point, I have been rather "numb" about this surgery - it's overwhelming and brings up a lot of emotions. I'm nervous, scared, ashamed, optimisitic and trying to be excited (although that is a strong word that I usually associate with very positive, fun, happy events and as of now, I am more anxious than excited).
The surgery is in a month from this coming Sunday so I feel like I have a lot to think about to mentally prepare myself. I also want to enjoy the holidays and not spend them worrying about what is right around the corner.
I can't believe this is actually going to happen! I know a year from now, I will be looking back and (hopefully) saying this was a great decision and I am so happy to be healthier and feeling better. But for now, this is still a major decision that I need to quickly become at peace with.
Your thoughts, prayers and encouragement are appreciated!

Approved!

Today I found out that my Gastric Bypass Surgery was approved by my insurance company! I am so thankful to hear this great news, espcially today, the day before Thanksgiving!
I don't get to schedule my surgery date until next Monday (the surgery scheduler is off work for the Thanksgiving holiday).
This is another step on my journey to a healthier, happier life. And becomming the best wife and mommy I can be...but most of all, knowing that I will live a longer life creating memories with my wonderful family!
Now it's starting to feel "official"!
