Finally on My Way to Ypsilanti Tomorrow for Consult.....

Jul 13, 2009

So tomorrow I am finally on my way for consultation at Barix with Dr. Taylor in Michigan.  I feel like this has taken forever to get all of my ducks in a row but at the same time....compared to some it has not taken long at all.  I am approved for OHIP, have my  paperwork and passport ready to go to get me across the border.  I am so thankful that my parents have been able and willing to take me to my appointment.  I am excited because Anne from Barix called me today to confirm that I would be there tomorrow and let me know that I should be prepared to have surgery within four weeks if all goes as planned.  She said that due to the fact that I am relatively healthy Dr. Taylor may not require any extra tests....just PATS and then surgery.  She said things will happen very quickly after tomorrow.  I am so excited but a little nervous at the same time.  Been thinking about how difficult it may be to change my head after surgery and say good-bye to my unhealthy relationship with food.  Been wondering how it will be to attend social situations revolving around food..... My biggest concern however is that I heal properly and quickly.  I am young and determined and have a positive attitude....I want this to be a success.....a life changing one.  I have such high hopes and want things to go smoothly and successfully.
