6 Days Till My First Appointment..YAY!

Aug 20, 2008

I made this appointment over 8 weeks ago, and I can't believe it is getting so close. I'm excited and nervous, but not as bad as I was. I'm still excited, but thanks to OH, I have calmed down because I know what to expect now. I know that my insurance requires me to do 6 months of supervised dieting, and I'm ready to begin. I look at this 6 months as a really good start to gaining my health back, and plus, losing all the weight I can before surgery will reduce my risk of any complications during and after surgery. Also, it will kick start my butt into eating the right foods so I'm ready for eating right after surgery. To my surprise..I'm actually excited to start dieting ..LOL I have never in my life been excited to start a diet. I do know that before going for WLS, I had to be mentally, emotionally, and physically ready 100%. It has taken me 5 years to get to this point, but with my  supervised dieting, I feel I'm finally 100% ready for WLS! YAY!!!.. 

I'm getting excited

Hi, I'm Lisa..

After 20 years of suffering with my weight and 100's of diets, I have finally decided to have Gastric Bypass surgery. I have researched this for a few years, but I always thought I could lose the weight myself. Well, that NEVER happened. I went to a seminar 2 years ago, but left feeling scared and totally freaked out. This last year has proven to me that something has to finally be done. My health is now suffering. So, I went to another seminar on June 17th, and I called 5 days later and made my appointment with Dr. Dan. My appointment is Aug.27th and I'm getting so excited. I have all my papers and documents ready to go. I'm working now on some questions to ask, and I am so excited to finally get the ball rolling. The only thing that will really stress me out is the wait to hear if I get approved. OMG..I'm a stress eater, and I'll probably gain 10 pounds just waiting to hear something.  A friend of mine named Anne just had her surgery 2 weeks ago with Dr. Dan, and she described this as a wonderful Journey, I think she is right and I'm ready to begin my Journey!
