Countdown to surgery - 4 days

Aug 29, 2011

 

  Well surgery is scheduled for August 23. I'm excited yet a bit nervous, but I'm ready for this. This is what I need to do. I've struggled with weight most of my life. Over the years I've lost and gained many pounds. I've succeeded temporarily at times only to return to my old habits.
These last few weeks I have been following my pre-surgery plan. I have to consume 4- 160 calories meal replacements from the hospital and I can have one small meal a day of meat and veggies. I'm ready for Tuesday.
There are other factors in my life that scare me right now. I have to trust in the Lord that all will work out.

I'm 4'11" tall, I weight 224 pounds. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, severe obstructive sleep apnea and many joint problems. Tons of aches and pains and no interest in myself. I'm tired all the time from this extra weight, I'm tired of being tired.
So I've researched and gone to support meetings and I have met the criteria for Bariatric surgery and I am ready to start a new Chapter in my life.

I'll take all of the prayers I can get.This is my team of supporters.
I've met the surgical team a number of times and I've met almost all of the patients featured on here. It's an amazing thing.
