2 Months Till Surgery

Oct 07, 2010

I'm approved by insurance and have a surgery date of Dec 1, 2010! I want to jump for joy and than I want to suck my thumb and hide under the bed.  Lots of emotions go along with all this.

It was a frustrating process between my last 3 month nutritional program office visit and getting my surgery date.  It was literally a month for all of it.  Oh well that's water under the bridge.  I've gotten my paperwork telling of all the tests and appointments I need to complete between now and surgery.  I'm sort of glad I've got the 2 month wait so that I don't feel overwhelmed and I can complete everything in a leisurely way.

My husband is very nervous about it all; so we're going to an extra office visit so that he can quiz the doctor about everything.  DH doesn't want to hear the words from my mouth; he's got to hear it from the Doc.  I think I'm shocking a lot of people in my life.  It's really difficult to convey to them that this surgery is relatively safe for me, and overall this will be safer than going around morbidly obese for the rest of my life.

I'm looking forward to the new, vibrant self I will become.
