Hi everyone :)
Here it is 1:32 am, and I am getting ready to head to sleep. Have been tying up some loose ends all weekend in preparations for today and the next upcoming weeks. In eless than 12 hours, the first round of several needed reconstructive surgeries will begin for me. I am excited and scared and hopeful and anxious, and most of all, ready to be "on the other side" after having fought an uphill battle with my insurance company the past 5 months.
My dear hubby, Alan, will post an update or two to my surgery support page on ObesityHelp, as well, when he is able to, and the page can be found at: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/status.phtml?N=M1043211376 .
I will be arriving at Fountain Valley Regional Hospital at 11:30 am and am scheduled for surgery from 1:30 pm through 7:30 pm. I will remain at the hospital at least through Wednesday morning, and I look forward to emailing and posting as soon as I am able to :) (Yes, I am open to visitors if anyone is interest - just be forwarned that I may not be my smiley self!
Special thanks to all those who've offered their support, wisdom, inspiration, etc. throughout the past several months and 20 months since my gastric bypass surgery! You know who you are, and I love you all dearly....
Sending hugs and love :)
