A Few More Days

Feb 15, 2009

So in five days or so I'm going to be going to see the Wizard -- aka Dr William O'Malley -- to plead case for weight loss surgery.  If all goes well, he'll agree, my stuff will go to insurance for processing, and I will schedule a date. 

Suddenly, it's all becoming real.

I'm excited and scared and nervous.  I'm trying to read the boards here on OH but to also not to obsess -- a fine line, and one that is NOT easy to traverse, with my thirst for knowing all the details!!  I have to really strive for balance.  I'll be driving along and suddenly just be overwhelmed with thoughts of what could go wrong, how things could be horrid, how this surgery thing could all be a mistake ... I have to make a rule to acknowledge those things but to also commit to staying in-focus on all of the goos stuff that WILL happen once I have surgery.  But great googly moogly, it just ain't easy!

Keep your fingers crossed for me on Thursday as I meet the doc face-to-face for the first time.  I have a list of questions for him, and I am hoping for the best of all things.
