Ready...set...go!

Jul 14, 2010

Sooo excited that I was approved by the insurance company yesterday and today was able to schedule my surgery for August 3!  All of the doubts and fears that I was letting creep in during the wait have vanished (at least for now!)...I know I'm pretty lucky that I was only waiting for the insurance approval for about a week, but that was long enough for me!  I've been telling more people about what's going to be happening...some people  have been advising that I don't need to tell anyone else because it is none of their business, but I kind of feel like a bariatric surgery crusader - there is so much misinformation and ignorance out there which leads to fear wrapped in concern, which were some of the reactions I was getting.  I really want to spread the word that this is not something you just go into a doctor's office and "order up" or that having the surgery is the "easy way out" - those of us who are going through the process know firsthand that one, it is not quick and two, it is not going to be easy!  But it certainly will be worth it.  Nothing worth having ever comes easy!

Stay strong, stay focused and remember to love yourself!  :)
