I have been waiting for this day for a long time...

Dec 29, 2010

I just spoke to Manitoba Health and they confirmed they have approved my surgery.  It is really going to happen.  It feels so surreal and until the WLS happens I will be on pins and needles.  I am one of these people in life who have that dark cloud over my head and I try not to get too hopeful or optimistic.

Why am I doing this?  So I can walk the dog,with my daughter; So I can take my grandchildren without feeling any pain or breathlessness; So I can go anywhere without scouring for a bench, so I can sit every 5 minutes; So I can look after my husband without relying on others.  Of course there are the secondary things like travel, and shop, but I want to know what life is like without pain, without sitting on the sidelines while everyone else is living. 

I am afraid of course, but after reading profiles on this site, and reading as much as I can about the surgery I am more afraid not to go through with it.
