Happy, Anxious and Stressed - What a combo...

Mar 30, 2011

Today is just one of those days... I guess I should start with the positives. I received a call today from my Surgeon's office and they asked me what surgery I decided on having and told me that they would be submitting my paperwork for approval by the insurance company. Woot Woot! Step 1 - done!  

I decided that my first choice for surgery is going to be the Laproscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy. My second choice is the Gastric Bypass. When I first started my journey of researching WLS, I was all about getting the LapBand. Now, I feel that for my weight and body, LSG is the best way to go. The complication rate is lower than all of the other methods but it is still not as extreme as the Gastric Bypass in terms of side effects.

Other than all of that, I have been feeling very stressed lately. There are so many things going on at once that I feel like my brain is going on overload. I am trying to get my WLS in order, I am going to Puerto Rico for a week and a half for my sister's wedding and my birthday in two weeks, I am moving to another city in the beginning of May, and I am beginning to plan for my "real wedding" for 2013. (I know, it's still early but it's on my mind...)  All of these things have been clouding my mind and I don't really have a second to just breathe. Can I just hide?
