2 Weeks left

Oct 05, 2010

Yesterday was filled with all things WLS.  I had an upper GI (fun!), pre-op class and pre-admission testing.  So, now all I have to do is show up in two weeks.

Someone at work asked me if I was excited today.  And my answer surprised me, but it was completely honest.  I am excited
about the possibilites that the future holds.  However, I feel like I am approaching this from a realistic stand-point.  This isn't going to be easy.  This is a surgical procedure.  I realize that there are going to be moments of regret in the coming weeks.  And moments of doubt in myself. 

But, I just pray that I have the strength in takes to make it through those moments.

Closing In On 10-19-10

Sep 25, 2010

It is really starting to sink in that I am really close to the day that will change my life forever.  Friday anesthesiology called to go over my health history before surgery.  Then, yesterday I attended my last pre-op support group.  And last night I realized that my pre-op class, upper GI and registration is a week away.  Wow!!!  This is really sneaking up on me.  Funny I should say that when this has been 36 years in the making! 

I am still having some concerns about my ability to truly commit to the lifestyle changes that I have to make.  Because I have never had much success before.   I guess I have to come to accept/expect failure in this area of my life.  Ahhh......that is sad!

I am just trying to remind myself that WLS is a tool.  A tool that I have not had access to before, that will help me to be successful.

I have a date with a surgeon!  I will be having the Sleeve Gastrectomy on October 19!

I am really excited and a little nervous.  Mostly nervous about the unknown.  But, I am doing what I can to prepare myself for what to expcect.  And to have realistic expectations.
